At this point I believe many would equivocate it to continue sounding woke.

Oh good. People are now confusing polygamy and polyamory. Either out of ignorance (likely) or malice (also likely). Well done.

I can hear them right now. That age of consent is so "oppressive and archaic".

OK so "polygamy" is still out but "polyamory" cool? Nice.

Polyamory is even freakier.

polygamy is the practice or custom of having more than one wife or husband at the same time.

polyamory is the practice of engaging in multiple sexual relationships with the consent of all the people involved.

Like group sex. Orgies? How do they even know whose kid it is? (Oh, that's right, DNA.) And since they are such mature adults, no one ever gets jealous. Chaos--reminds me so much of what I read about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. Society has truly degenerated and if we say this there are names for them to call us.

We only get one life to live, so as far as I am concerned, live it however you want. As long as it’s fully consensual for all parties involved, do whatever the hell you want.

If, when you say "Mormon," you're referring to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, then it didn't just mostly dispense with polygamy; it totally dispensed with polygamy.

I'm not sure, but I sort of got the impression that polyamory would be like a guy having two girlfriends - whereas each girlfriend knows about the other one but they don't interact with each other.

For example, Jimmy is with Sarah from Monday to Friday...but Jimmy spends weekends with Kristen.

Sarah and Kristen both know what Jimmy is doing, and they are both ok with it. It's not a 3-some thing.

Or I guess it could be a 3-some thing - where Jimmy, Sarah, and Kristen all live together. I really don't know. I had to google polygamy and polyamory...and I just pasted the definitions.
