When will people ACCEPT it?!
One man, one woman. Period.
Not two men, not two women, and not more than one of each.
Yikes.
There's a sound legal argument for making the
controversial practice legal, says Brian Barnard, the lawyer for a Utah couple,
identified in court documents only as G. Lee Cooke and D. Cooke, who filed suit
after being denied a marriage license for an additional wife. Though the case
was struck down by a federal court last year, it's now being considered by the
Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Barnard plans to use the same argument—that
Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 sodomy case in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
that individuals have "the full right to engage in private conduct without
government intervention," should also apply to polygamous
relationships.
Oh, and HBO subscribers, beware: a polygamy show is about to air:
...the tiny movement may get its biggest boost from an
unexpected source: HBO. This week the network debuted a new drama, "Big Love,"
which offers a sympathetic look at a polygamous family.
