Sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack your post.

But polygamy makes more sense in the natural order of human nature than gay marriage.

But polygamy makes more sense in the natural order of human nature than gay marriage.

Well, note this 2011 Indiana University article.

While I disagree with this study's evolutionary crap injected by this university that "sainted" pedophile champ Kinsey, indeed the simple math involved from this study is born out:

Polygamy practiced by some 19th century Mormon men had the curious effect of suppressing the overall offspring numbers of Mormon women in plural marriages, say scientists from Indiana University Bloomington and three other institutions...Simply put, the more sister-wives a Mormon woman had, the fewer children she was likely to produce...."the number each wife produced goes down by one child or so..."

What's so curious about that? Brigham Young had 55 wives & 57 children...figure the averages...Joseph Smith, Jr. had children in single-figures...27 wives...11 of them he stole from other men by marrying them when they were already married! (Not only was he a counterfeit "prophet," but a counterfeit husband as well!)

How interesting.

All of this is contrary to common myth: For actually, 19th and early 20th century Mormon polygamy resulted in less children per mom, not more!

So why would you conclude that it's more natural to have less kids???
