Big Love on the Prairie
Will Lawrence v. Texas protect the polygamists at the Yearning for Zion ranch?
(Page 2 of 2)
It is not as if children need one father and one mother, as homosexualists repeatedly argue, and married couples certainly shouldn’t be expected to stay together for the welfare of children. Maybe the literature down at Children’s Protective Services will need to be changed — Heather Now Has Seven Mommies — but that’s a quick fix.
After the launch of Big Love, nobody in the mainstream media, as far as I could tell, even raised a moral objection in defense of children. If they raised an objection at all, it reflected concern not for minors but for women exploited by dirty dog patriarchs who have benefited from the confusions of the sexual revolution.
The handcuffed patriarchs at the Yearning for Zion ranch must be muttering to themselves: How come we don’t get to join this parade?
