Officials at the clerk's office did not have an immediate comment, and Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito did not return a call for comment.

The Supreme Court's ruling on Friday made gay marriages legal nationwide. Chief Justice John Roberts said in his dissent that people in polygamous relationships could make the same legal argument that not having the opportunity to marry disrespects and subordinates them.

Collier, 46, said that dissent inspired him. He owns a refrigeration business in Billings and married Victoria, 40, in 2000. He and his second wife, Christine, had a religious wedding ceremony in 2007 but did not sign a marriage license to avoid bigamy charges, he said.

Collier said he is a former Mormon who was excommunicated for polygamy and now belongs to no religious organization. He said he and his wives hid their relationship for years, but became tired of hiding and went public by appearing on the reality cable television show "Sister Wives."

Liberals online are lashing out against this man attempting to get two wives, despite claiming that consenting adults should have the freedom to do things that don't hurt others. Hypocrites.

I posted this headline on my new Facebook account, with a requisite snarky comment, but chickened out and deleted it...snark isn’t why I joined Facebook...

Anyone who stood there two years ago and talked up legal reasons why gay marriages would be the ‘only’ step up.....either were really naive, or just fooling the public. Threesome or foursome marriages will be legalized by the Supremes in a matter of two years. I can’t even see them stopping cousins marrying....although health reasons might step in, but I doubt it.

Around 2025, we will all know someone in our community who is married to three guys and six women, and it’ll be acceptable.
