First we had dress codes at school dances, next sharia law. By the time I said some, it was too late. Oh, the humanity of it allYou're shocked that conservative Mormons in Utah are prude?
Prude?....like having multiple wives is somewhat modest?
Who has multiple wives?
Well, I don't know them personally, but there are some.
The LDS Mormons do not practice polygamy. They were forced to abandon that practice by the United States government who sent the army to Utah to enforce the United States claim on that territory.
But several of the other Mormon offshoots still practice polygamy.
Mormons and Polygamy
The Polygamy Issue
Does polygamy still exist in Utah? You bet it does. Utah was admitted to the Union in 1896 but only under the condition that the Mormon Church ban polygamy, which they agreed to do. The Mormon Church remains opposed to polygamy to this day and immediately excommunicates any member who is discovered to be practicing polygamy. There are several ultra-orthodox offshoots of the Mormon Church though, especially in rural parts of Utah, which quietly practice polygamy today basically under a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Most polygamists just want to be left alone and don't want notoriety.
The Mormons and Polygamy
A lot of Arab sheikhs and other royalty have multiple wives and those countries are extremely conservative.
Yeah, and they are extremely sexist.....making their wives wear Burkas.....and here in the US baring a shoulder is now naughty? Well, you said it, that's conservatism for you.
If you think it is contradictory for us left wingers to moralize and berate some hicks in flyover country over a high school dress code but get outraged when anyone criticizes the Burka than think again you republican shitlords! Check your white privilege.
