Many long decades ago, the people of the United States took offense to the practice in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to polygamy among the most faithful church leaders. They passed a federal law that declared polygamy unlawful (at the federal level) and sent the US Army out to the territory of Utah to stop the practice. While the history of that military campaign is interesting, what is important to this discussion is that the US Supreme Court found this law constitutional. So it still stands.
Comes now some state supreme courts finding it unconstitutional to have laws against homosexual sex. Hmmmm. Would someone point out whats the legal difference in the state's interest here?
Thanks.
