(<a href="http://theblackcordelias.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/hugh-hefner-versus-mormon-polygamists-of-flds/" rel="nofollow">Hugh Hefner Versus Mormon Polygamists Of FLDS « The Black Cordelias</a>) The fact of the matter is, if these fellas were just shacked up with their "baby mammas" and making no pretense of being married... or if it were two men who lived in a state that allowed for same-sex couples to adopt, the story would be appreciably different. Hugh Hefner lives with 3 women (it was 7 "girlfriends" with curfews and allowances a few years back) but I suppose the key difference is he rejects fertility and only uses them for sex, companionship, and red-carpet photo ops... No babies in the mansion! If these men had married these women, gotten no-fault divorces after having babies from a $1000 strip-mall lawyer and went on to repeat (so long as they left the women in the tough situation of being a single parent!) they would have been fine. If they just pretended these baby mammas were girlfriends, they would have been find. I don't agree with these folks in any way, but given the death of traditional marriage, it is going to be harder and harder to oppose this... And the Muslim population in America is growing. I can tell you that here in Columbus, with a significant Somali population, Islamic polygamy is already hear. That fellow who lives with his wife and her two sisters? Those aren't his sisters! Where are we then headed? The next 25 years will tell, I guess. I wrote about this just a few hours ago myself! (Hugh Hefner Versus Mormon Polygamists Of FLDS « The Black Cordelias)
