As they said on Anderson Cooper, she gave a head nod to both sides and was wise to not wait until Friday.

I am watching Governor Brewer's address of that bullshit "Religious Freedom" Bill. Governor Brewer vetoed that Bill. Thank you, Governor Brewer. CNN is doing a great job covering this.

This isn't just about Christianity except for the fact that Christianity is the power dominant group and Christianity is the world's largest religion. All of the mainstream religions have issues regarding sexual orientation, sexuality, gender, and other group dynamics. And people have always used the cult of religion to justify and perpetuate inequalities. That is why I am not a fan of organized religion and my belief in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior is more about faith and spirituality than about what humans have published and preached in the name of religion.

Interesting comparison, since polygamy was one of the flash points that caused a great deal of distrust of, and violence toward, Mormons in the 19th Century, and since abolition of polygamy was a condition of Utah's admission to the Union.

The idea of that polygamy was (and in same cases, still is) a religious practice certainly didn't make it any less controversial or more acceptable. Or legal.
