A family made famous by the reality show "Sister Wives" is calling on a Utah appeals court to uphold a ruling that essentially decriminalized polygamy, saying the state's historic ban on the practice raises constitutional issues about freedom of religion, association, and privacy rights of consenting adults.
Kody Brown and his four wives - Meri, Jangle, Christine and Robyn - who began appearing on the TLC reality show in 2010, filed suit against the state of Utah challenging the state's ban.

It appears that polygamy will soon be legal.
All of the arguments for same sex marriage are arguments for plural marriage.

Women become baby-makers instead of partners. Just like Islam.

Proponents of Shariah law will be all in favor of this.

Bionically, there is more support for polygamy than for homosexuality.

Just say it’s your harem Kody. The federal government will back you 100%

No reason it shouldn’t if same sex is legal.

Of course it will. Polygamy is less perverse and less bizarre than homosexual copulatory arrangements.
We are no longer on a slippery slope - we’ve tilted over the edge and are in free fall. At this point, what is most important is what emerges from the ashes after this civilization burns.

You mean biologically.
I hate autocorrect, too.

Sorry, that was “biblically” not “bionically”

“Bionically, there is more support for polygamy than for homosexuality.”
I guess it is easier to imagine the bionic man having several wives than having sex with a gay partner.
To: detective
I’m not at all a fan of polygamy but a guy being “married” to more than one woman isn’t as repugnant...*nearly* as repugnant...as a guy being “married” to a guy.

The muzzys are eagerly waiting for it to be legal. They already practice it. That will enable them to get an obamaphone and EBT card for each wife.

In Michigan you can get welfare for your 4 brides. Seems like I can support this welfare harem in Michigan so yes I want the same rights to have 4 wives. My wife on the other likes the law in its present form

They already are, because all the wives are unemployed single mothers, under the law.

Other polygamists collect multiple benefits the same way.
