Completely unrelated, but it's like when you ask anti-abortionists if, were abortion to be made illegal, women who have abortions should go to jail. That one stumps 'em, too.<br /><br /><br />Phoebe: It's illegal to starve your kids?! Well, dang.<br /><br /><br />Maya: Exactly.<br /><br /><br />ME: Precisely! That said, though, I'm sure they'll tell you you're wrong to equate polygamy with gay marriage or to think of polygamy as doing violence to traditional marriage. After all, polygamy is part of the "new and everlasting covernant", so it's unassailable. :-P<br /><br /><br />Rebecca: Hear, hear!J.M.

It's not like anyone is unclear where the LDS church stands on gay marriage. Mentioning it just dredges up all their nastiness again.<br /><br />Remind me, who was doing violence to marriage norms during the 1800s?Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139482655232986786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-70433543232725361542009-11-11T17:01:08.602+01:002009-11-11T17:01:08.602+01:00ditto.ditto.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163354395585207840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-79682224112310644652009-11-11T15:29:54.737+01:002009-11-11T15:29:54.737+01:00Wasn't it already illegal to discriminate? See...Wasn't it already illegal to discriminate? Seems like this is like passing a law that says it's illegal to starve your children. More like passing a law that says that despite what violent little reprobates your children are, it's illegal to starve them. Because that's fair.<br /><br />-PhoebeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-78441221874751707442009-11-11T12:33:26.588+01:002009-11-11T12:33:26.588+01:00That's the $64,000 question that hardly anyone...That's the $64,000 question that hardly anyone's asking and, so far as I've heard, no one has been able to answer. When it's stated that gay marriage would somehow destroy the sanctity of marriage, one should simply ask, "How?". I've asked that question a half-dozen times and I simply receive blank stares in response.Gilahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331323175802868796noreply@blogger.com
