What About Polygamy?
It is illegal also. Did she really go to school? She should know that the Mormons have fought multiple times on multiple wives.
Yep...Reynolds vs. US
As one analyst said about this case it is not the Constitutionality of gay marriage that is being debated, it is the Constitutionality of traditional marriage that is being debated. If the Court overturns traditional marriage then I expect them to rule in such a way that a polygamy case doesn’t have to come before them. They can do so by stating that the state has no vested interest in limits on any marriages between consenting adults.
Given that Hugh Hefner and Charlie Sheen and no end of urban black men can openly practice polygamy then why can’t anyone else?
Do you not understand why she asked? It’s a rhetorical question.
she should also know the federal government MANDATED marriage as one man and one woman as a condition of utah statehood.
Did she really go to school? She should know that the Mormons have fought multiple times on multiple wives.

Did you really go to school? You should know that the Mormons have not practiced polygamy for over 100 years, and it is an excommunicate-able offense.
cue the anti Mormon patrol in 3...2...1...
Only in parallel.
You can have as many serial wives as you can afford...
The point she is trying to make (and its a good one) is not that polygamy is illegal. It is that if gay marriage is a “right”, then what moral objection could be made to polygamy, or incest? And if the answer to that is “none”, as logically there couldnt be, then the next step is necrophilia, bestiality, and ultimately paedophilia
