Polygamy frankly makes more sense to me than homosexuality does. Some of the greatest figures in the Bible practiced polygamy, for example, Elkanah with Hannah and Peninnah; Hannah gave birth to the prophet Samuel. Never and nowhere, insofar as I know, does the Bible ever endorse homosexuality or portray non-negatively any of its unrepentant practitioners. Perhaps the Mormon (religious, politically conservative) historic practice of polygamy in this country makes that lifestyle choice too politically incorrect for the courts to endorse it.

I can not figure out why the LDS church came out in support of prop 8. I honestly would have thought that they would have been more low key.

This is a great stepping point to allow polygamy again. The LDS doctrine D&C 132 requires that LDS members practice polygamy in order to gain entrance into the highest degree of glory. I also heard someplace that the vote concerning gay marriage passed with one of the smallest margins of any state in Utah.

I have already posted my stance on this whole thing. Short story is that I will abstain from voting on this issue. It has no bearing on my personal salvation whatsoever.
