If ANYone thought that it would stop with legalizing Gay marriage....they were not thinking. Eventually we will be able to marry animals. Just wait and see.
The slope is slippery.
bestiality is next ... obama will certainly smile at that ... especially when men are allowed to marry their pet gerbils ....
or their horses ....
Just wait until we can marry our pet and then want to put a $500k life insurance policy on the animal.
At this point it would be far simpler to remove any state recognition of marriages at all.
What is the state’s interest any more?
Care for the children? They gave that up when they allowed homosexual marriages, child abusive relationships on their face.
So, just erase all of it.
Technically, this ruling had nothing to do with polygamous marriage, as the party involved did not have a plural marriage.
The ruling deals with whether a person can openly co-habitate with multiple people. It is hard to see how a law prohibiting this could stand in light of recent rulings.
If we allow a person to co-habitate with one other person without marriage, why not two, or three, or more?
Religiously, we should strongly oppose anything beyond sex within marriage. But from a liberty perspective, where do we draw the line regarding government by force of law regulating private actions between individuals?
Turley is an odd dude.
We raised my daughter to share our belief that she is the beloved and blessed child of our Heavenly Father who has been entrusted to our care. We did our best to prepare her for a Godly and rewarding life. She is a joy.
Too bad for the little girls destined to be mired in the degradation and hopelessness of polygamy. Mr. Brown, like a bantam rooster, will strut his stuff, exist nicely on multiple public assistance incomes, and live out his days attended by his harem.
Ya know that 1st cousin you’ve always had the hots for...?
Turley. Rhymes with girly.
Polygamy doesn’t bother me near as much as two men marrying.
It’s a preference, just like homosexuality Pedophilia, anmd Necrophilia.
After all we are supposed to accept everyone’s sexual preference these days aren’t we?
There are several examples of successful and thriving societies where polygamy has been widespread. There are no successful societies where homosexuality is the norm. From Sodom and Gomorrah to Nazi Germany the have been many societies where homosexuality was prevalent among the ruling class.
None survived.
As far as I can tell Utah didn’t even prosecute for violating their bigamy/cohabitation law anyway, so I’m not sure what difference it makes now that part of it is struck down. When they prosecute it seems like it is always for benefit fraud or some type of abuse.
30 years from now the state might outlaw religiously hetero traditional marriage as unlawful cohabitation. It’s no stranger than ‘gay marriage’ being recognized in 16 states would have seemed 30 years ago.

If the Mormons want polygamy, the Mormons should keep their polygamy. Period. Well, actually, multiple periods per month.
Some will say that women living in close proximity wind up having their periods at the same time. True or not? It is hotly debated.
But it is a frightening thought.
The right to privacy in one’s beliefs must also exist for those who refuse to serve the interests of those they disagree with. A baker can not be required to bake a cake for a homosexual couple based on the same logic that allows a homosexual couple to cohabitate. Both are privacy rights.
Nah...PETA won't let that happen. /s
