Well, it might be nice, then, if people would attempt to make a distinction between the two in their posts. When people say "Mormon," it's generally members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints they are talking about. I'm not looking for a fight over semantics, but of all people who may call themselves "Mormons," the LDS Church constitutes 99.03% and the FLDS Church constitutes .07%. (That's not 7%, it's 7/100th of 1%.) So to imply that even a negligible number of the 99.03% practice polygamy is, if not technically dishonest, misleading at the very least.
...and why no talk about legalizing polygamy? To me it seems more acceptable than same-sex marriage. It was acceptable at one time. Hell, it's even legitimized in the Bible, so the religious right can't criticize it. The Mormons allowed it for a while and many still practice it under the radar. It might actually decrease the divorce rate since people will not be forced to divorce before remarrying.
Extreme religious sects of the Latter-Day Saints movement may practice polygamy, but that church does not practice it. In fact, members will be excommunicated if they are found to practice it.
OP wondering again....."Do Same Sex couples have a Honeymoon after the ceremony?....Hell, I'm straight and do not have the vaguest idea what's in their agenda.
A Honeymoon Agenda?
Of course most SS couples probably want to take a honeymoon. Just like hetero couples. If you want to understand the SSM "agenda", just look at straight people's marriage "agenda"...they are the same. That's the whole point!
