The Supreme Court Has Already Ruled on Homosexual Marriage (While outlawing polygamy)

In the nineteenth century, the courts agreed that it was necessary for the State to acknowledge the biblical requirement of monogamy over against polygamy (many wives). Marriage is by definition a union of one man and one woman.

The courts justified their rulings because of moral absolutes found in the Christian religion. What was true of polygamy was equally true of homosexuality since homosexuality was illegal in all the states, including the Mormon-populated state of Utah. The arguments against polygamy applied to homosexuality with little or no debate.

In The Late Corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints v. United States (1890), the court determined that “[t]he organization of a community for the spread and practice of polygamy is, in a measure, a return to barbarism. It is contrary to the spirit of Christianity and of the civilization which Christianity had produced in the Western world.”

If the Supreme Court rules to strike down the decision of the voters of California to prohibit homosexual marriage, there won’t be anything standing in the way of people who want to have multiple husbands and wives.

In his dissent in the Romer v. Evans (1996) decision, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the following:

“Has the Court concluded that the perceived social harm of polygamy is a ‘legitimate concern of government,’ and the perceived social harm of homosexuality is not?”

The legal door will be open for the next minority group to argue for their marriage rights. Don’t be surprised if NAMBLA (The North American Man/Boy Love Association) becomes more public with its claim that sex with children is just as valid as same-sex sex and multiple marriage partners.......

I was actually thinking of this last night. Will these pro-homo laws apply to Amish and Indian reservations.?They are pretty much autonomous locales exempt from laws that govern the rest of the country. I think Christians could argue that the United States has become such a hostile country to our religion, that we deserve autonomous communities as well.

Would love to see a conservative group kick off a convention and talk about the prospects -

where does the line end???

That is the real question. I am a libertarian at heart. I believe in freedom and liberty. If you want to have sex with your sheep, I don't think we need a law against it. But I will pray for you and try to get you to follow THE WAY Christ taught us to live.

But being a Libertarian, I don’t believe that gives you the right to murder your unborn child.
