Oh, and Glenn is mormon and therefore does not see anything wrong with polygamy.... which will be next.
As someone here in S. Utah (and a Catholic),btw, I can tell you the possibility of polygamy being “normalized” is the very reason the mainstream LDS church was so involved in Prop 8.
They knew (and know) that if the legal definition of marriage were officially changed, that polygamy would soon follow, bringing back all the old prejudices. From the Mormons I talk to, and I know plenty, they’ve spent decades trying to “mainstream” their religion and distance itself from it’s historic embrace of polygamy. Ditto for its historic embrace of racism and anti-Semitism.
The Mormon people are frugal with a buck (and that is intended as a compliment). They POURED money in to Prop 8. People in CA wanted to paint them as anti-gay haters; but that was beside the point.
They didn’t want their own future reputations tied up in this.
Glenn missed the point. He objected the idea of a gay bar near his place of worship. How is he going to feel if his church and others were forced to marry gay people?
Polygamy was practiced by all Christian religens at one time. It is based on the belief that you are “thy bothers keeper” . If a brother died, it was your duty to take in his wife and children and raise and protect as your own. Of course some people decided to make new rules and not follow the original intent. This is no different than the “new “ interperation of the 14 th Amendment that grants citizenship to children of illegals. It was never the intent to grant citizenship to illegal children , but politicans found a way around it. Just ignor it!!!
What an idiotic statement.
