Who cares? Almost all politicians have ulterior motives, even when they consistently claim to be on our side, but the important part is that he’s supporting unions and basic discrimination laws when many others in his state will hate him for it.

Oh, and I think the title of this article should be changed, because Huntsman is not just a ‘Utah Republican’, but the freaking Governor of the state. Response to this article has been pretty weak, and I’m guessing the title is the reason why.

Mormons make my ‘rhoids itch, but they should NOT have had to give up polygamy as a condition for joining the Union … the Constitution makes that VERY clear: no Establishment, no religious test.

As long as the parties are consenting adults and the children don’t end up on the welfare rolls (as most children of closet ILLEGAL polygamists DO), then have at it.

But, oh, by the way, maybe women would like polyandry to be legalized as well?

Fair’s fair …

Non-profits (particularly PAGAN FERTILITY CULTS like the Romans and the Mormons) should be allowed to do whatever they like; the STATE should license ANY and ALL relationships between consenting adult humans.

It is not the business of the State to legislate a sectarian definition of a sectarian “sacrament.”

Are the non-profits who DO believe in and perform same-sex marriages any LESS valid BEFORE THE LAW than those who DO?

They shouldn’t be, in the view of the LAW.

Church and State don’t mix … a Baptist warden tried to prevent a Roman Catholic chaplain from bringing wine into a state prison to celebrate Mass, EVEN THOUGH the priest was giving Communion to the inmates in ONE kind (the Bread only, as used to be customary in the Roman Church).

If THAT had been allowed to stand, Romans, Anglicans, and Lutherans (and whoever else uses wine for Communion) could have been prosecuted for serving alcoholic beverages to minors, since most of those churches give First Communion YEARS before the age of eighteen.

I’m just illustrating that if the State mixes in the definition of the sacrament of matrimony, then it’s only a matter of time before the wing-nut Suthren Babdists (sic) get their knickers in a twist about wine at Communion, or something ELSE, like Friday night BINGO (the “eighth sacrament” among certain groups).

BEWARE MORMONS BEARING GIFTS!!!
