Sister Wives family uses gay marriage rulings as justification for polygamy.

[Fifty Seven]

I have no problem with this. If the state has no right to dictate the genders of people entering a marriage contract it should also not get to dictate how many people are involved in a marriage contract. Frankly I'd rather see the state getting out of the marriage business altogether, but so long as it remains involved it has no business using its power to force particular family arrangements.

'Sister Wives' family points to same-sex marriage cases in arguing against Utah polygamy ban | The Salt Lake Tribune

"From the rejection of morality legislation in Lawrence to the expansion of the protections of liberty interests in Obergefell, it is clear that states can no longer use criminal codes to coerce or punish those who choose to live in consensual but unpopular unions," Turley wrote in his answer to Utah's appeal.

So do I, but I don't see it as a matter of morality. Morality should be enforced through social pressure, not government force. That's why we have religion and television.

Like anything else what some see as immoral others don't.

Goats and dogs, like children, are not capable of consent. That is a barrier I hope and pray that we never break.

This should come as no surprise to anyone. If gender is no longer material in the definition of marriage I see no reason why numbers or prior relationships should be either.

Some of us view religion as a sewer.

Lets see what's the divorce rate among the religious? What's the rate of pastors cheating on their spouses with other adults/children?

Yea thats what I thought.

Interesting you should bring up television: Years before court ruling, pop culture shaped same-sex marriage debate - LA Times

I have a feeling that currently television has far more influence than religion.

Marriage should've be a desicion made between consenting adults. Goats and dogs lack reasoning just like your post. Bad analogy of yours.

Polygamy has actually been part of marriage historically in a lot of places. Not a new idea at all

It was just a question of time.
