Here is why it's consistent to keep polygamy illegal, but gay marriage legal

[jeckman]

I think a more valid fight would be religious discrimination

why should a Christin marriage be honored, but not a Mormon one

we all know Christians pushed anti-polygamy laws because of their original hatred of Mormons

Christian's fears at the time were that Mormons would out populate them

And that just means that the government has to meet a burden to justify this discriminatory treatment as meeting a secular purpose beyond any historic animus. It does not mean it cannot be done.

[Beliathon]

Some was true of inter-racial marriage, a Black man could marry a black women, but not a white women.

Racial discrimination and gender discrimination are not allowed.

Now we will see if religious discrimination is allowed in the polygamy fight.

Biologically, it would appear that a minstrating 12 year old would be an adult. While most of us agree today they are not mature enough, what is to stop this from being the next barrier in the future? Same sex is a perversion of our natural state, yet it exist now. As perverted as it is to think of a 12 year old getting married, what's to stop this perversion in the future?

Nothing can stop perversion, because all humans are perverts. Just truth asserting itself over myths.
