I've said before, when they allowed to re-open, there will be nothing left to reopen.

Since frankly nothing can top 2020 for unbelievable happenings, the state of Utah just re-decriminalized polygamy. By unanimous vote in the State Senate! This is like something from a shitty future history timeline on AH.com or some shit.

Currently, polygamy is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Honestly, it makes sense. Note that they didn't make it legal, just stopped it from being a felony, which was wildly out of step with other states. People commit legal bigamy by accident. Making it not a felony is a move towards normal punishments. Note that they kept the penalty for forced or coercive polygamy.Since frankly nothing can top 2020 for unbelievable happenings, the state of Utah just re-decriminalized polygamy.

We can be real with each other here dude, and whatever we say in public we all know preventing accidental bigamy is not the real reason for this.
Oh, I totally get why it exists in Utah. It's to crack down on the FLDS churches. And while I am an atheist, I don't like the law because it is an attempt to discriminate on a religious belief.

I think this is a good thing. The law was sporadically enforced anyway.
Eh... decriminalizing polygamy (with the exception of forced polygamy and/or involving minors) is pretty low on the give a shit meter. The amount of time, energy, and legal resources that we can redirect to more useful purposes makes this a good move, even before we get into arguments over whether or not this sort of marriage arrangement has any practical or moral benefits or detriments.Since frankly nothing can top 2020 for unbelievable happenings, the state of Utah just re-decriminalized polygamy.

Yeah, the only reason bigamy laws exist in the US is because of the Mormons, kind of like the first gun and drug laws were to discriminate against blacks.

As I understand it, the first drug laws were meant to discriminate against Mexicans; and also to save the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in the wake of the failure of Prohibition, and looming government budget cuts due to the Great Depression.

No. It's still not legal to do bigamy, it's just not a felony.

Appears to be the case.
This is rather freaky and obsessive. Worthy of an adult cartoon.
