Polygamous Montana trio applies for wedding license

Posted: Jul 3, 2015

HELENA, Mont. – A Montana man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife.

someone to apply for a license to marry their dog or their donkey.

Nothing would surprise me with the liberals anymore.

Yes, indeed, that makes perfect sense. - sm

Polygamy and marriage to animals are sweeping all the other countries where gay marriage is legal, including such places as Canada, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, South Africa, Spain, Portugal, etc. Yep.

Just like nothing the conservatives dream up - to make their point surprises me.

They've gone beyond weird and whacked-out, to just plain pathetic.

Animal marriage - Blanche

Are you suggesting that dogs and donkeys have the ability to give consent to enter into a legal contract? Because they don't, you know. Since marriage is a contract, animals cannot and won't ever be able to legally be married to a human.

Why are some conservatives so enthralled with the idea of people marrying animals? Do they not understand how absolutely silly they look every time you make that kind of claim?

Or is it that they have some secret desire to be wed to their pets and livestock? After all, how many times have we seen some rabidly anti-gay Republican get outed as gay himself?

Once marriage is redefined as other than between a man and a - woman, how can anyone be

The US is becoming a travesty of the worst kind.

The US is a travesty because of all the Cons' - ridiculous doomsday phobias.

Don't I know it! It really sucks when other people are given the same rights that you have!

a travesty. I can't image what it will be in a year.

I'm going to read the Declaration of Independence today. In just a short 239 years we have changed so much.

It's a good thing the country has changed a lot - in 239 years. Would we really -

if some people want to live that way, and as long as it's not hurting anyone, what's the big deal? Although I don't want to be a polygamist myself, that doesn't give me or anyone else the right to tell someone who wants to be that they can't.

So, you don't think this would be hurting impressionable children who witness such immorality? - Truth

harm impressionable children than allowing people to marry whom they want to.

The mess on the dress was right-wing? Clinton Corruption Machine - right wing?

[ In Reply To ..]
If a liberal politician should ever wish to learn the definition of immorality, the easiest way would be to look in the nearest mirror.

Reagan's trickle-down economics - right wing. - Bush #1 war in Iraq - right wing. (sm)

[ In Reply To ..]
Bush #2's war in Iraq - right wing.
Nixon's Watergate - right wing.

All Repubs' pandering to corporate influence - right wing.

Those things harm our children (and all of us) in far more ways than any left-leaning politician has ever done. Nice try, Pubs, but no amount of fantasy-spin can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Immoral? - Blanche

[ In Reply To ..]
How is polygamy immoral? Certainly it isn't immoral from a Biblical sense.

God speaking through the prophet Nathan to David:
"And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things."
2 Samuel 12:8.

Note: *wives* plural. Given by god.

Uh, I do not define morality according to the bible... - Truth

[ In Reply To ..]
I define it in terms of integrity, honesty, and loyalty. Polygamy, to me, is the antithesis of these attributes.

Plural marriage - Blanche

[ In Reply To ..]
I personally don't have a problem with it either, so long as all participants are of legal age and freely consent to it, plural marriage certainly doesn't harm me in any way.

I imagine there would be some complex contractual issues that would have to be hammered out. Like which sister-wives (or brother-husbands) would have rights to make medical and legal decisions on behalf of the other(s) and so on. And the taxes might be complex to work out.

But from a rights perspective? Sure.

As in the Bible. - sm

This poster said: "You knew this would happen."

Oh, please. This is nothing new. A lot of people still practice polygamy according to their religious beliefs as Christians. It is not remotely a new phenomenon that people have been suing in courts for centuries to obtain their right to polygamy based on religious freedom.

Their Christianity has been under attack for quite awhile now. Polygamy is in the Bible and not a new concept. Why do other Christians want to redefine their beliefs?

It’s been that way since he first laid eyes on the horns at a Pagan men’s group gathering in 2009. A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to gr ...

I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days. She has only been to two weddings in her life. I have not been ...

We've decided to use the October 31st date as our 'reception,' and instead of having the actual ceremony on that date, we're turning it into a cele ...
