Gay Marriage Was Always Leading To Polygamy – The Federalist
The Utah state Senate this week unanimously voted to decriminalize polygamy, knocking it down from a felony to a minor civil infraction. Though not quite legal yet, the practice of having multiple spouses is well on its way there, and let s face it, now that marriage has already been redefined to suit the nature of our times, what could possibly stand in the way of fully legal and recognized polygamous unions?
This, of course, is something we were promised would never happen when gay marriage became a constitutional right. It s completely different, we were told. Writing in Politico in 2015, Jonathan Rauch said, There might conceivably (although not likely) be a case for taking the trouble to do all that messy and confusing rewiring if the moral claim of polygamy were remotely as strong as to the moral claim of gay marriage. But it is not.
It still has to pass the Utah House.
