Mormons Join Their Persecutors

Let’s recap what’s happened around marriage:

• Early LDS chose to live in a way different than the "one-man-one-woman" U.S custom.
• The U.S. government and its Christian majority came down hard on them - in God's name.
• LDS argued it was their Constitutional right and didn't appreciate mainstream Christians forcing their views on them through government.
• LDS lost the battle and were forced to abandon the practice.
• LDS now join their persecutors in limiting the choices of others.  

The irony kills me. 

I’m no fan of polygamy, but early LDS argued it was a constitutional abuse to shut it down among consenting adults (and I agree).  They were forced to abandon the practice contrary to their wishes and the dictates of their conscious.  Now, many of their posterity have jumped sides, in God's name no less, to bully others using many of the same old arguments to defend the idea politicians should be able to dictate what a family looks like and which moral code is to be pushed by the feds.
