Sheesh, is it a full moon tonight or something? Lol.
Given the position of your Church on this matter, my question is pertinent. You've made it plain that you adhere to Church doctrine on everything else; I assume that you aren't going to disobey orders about how you should feel regarding marriage as well.
Now, perhaps I'm wrong, and you're fine with polygamy, or the other slippery-slope ideas your priests put out in arguing against gay marriage. Maybe you actually support those things, and that's cool.
I get tired of hearing about how some church or some god or some government must give its imprimatur to the love of two or more human beings. I think such authoritarian overreach is obnoxious. I'm glad the SCOTUS struck down gay marriage bans, and I think that if five men and seven women want to get married, they can carry their happy asses down to a lawyer, draw up a contract, and to hell with the validation of gods, priests, or IRS agents.

You are correct that I adhere to Church teaching on marriage. However, that has nothing to do with why I made this post. I just wanted to know yall's thoughts regarding polygamy.
Thank you for your response.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
