Polygamy Proponents Recycle Same-Sex "Marriage" Arguments: "Stephen Clark, legal director for the Utah branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, said that polygamy should be 'a protected exercise of religious liberty.'
While many supporters of homosexual marriage disapprove of polygamy, and many polygamists disapprove of homosexuality, some activists nonetheless find it useful to link the polygamy movement with the more accepted homosexual movement.
For example, Clark told the Salt Lake City Tribune, 'Talking to Utah's polygamists is like talking to gays and lesbians who really want the right to live their lives, and not live in fear because of whom they love. The bigamy statute, like sodomy statutes and like other anachronistic moralistic legislation, goes to the core of what the Supreme Court identifies as important fundamental privacy rights.' "
