Yes, busker - pretty sad to see what's happening in Arizona these days. Vladimir Putin and his ilk would feel right at home there with their homophobic politics.

But in the name of avoiding any possible hypocrisy here, one can only hope that this proposed legislation legitimizing the denial of the rights of others on the basis of individual religious views will also include a provision for legalizing polygamous marriages of the type favored by the Mormons. After all, what could be more Biblical than that? The Old Testament is full of instances of polygamy, including keeping concubines to provide offspring to family patriarchs whose wives proved to be "barren".

Of course, maybe the real reason for this "barrenness" was that these "macho" men's sperm counts were just too low, but we'll never know...
