There is a lot of disinformation being spread by the religious lobby that is promoting California’s Prop 8 to remove marriage rights of gay couples. I’m of two mind as to why the falsehoods.

Sarab Aburabia-Queder; 11/10/08 We in the Bedouin community do not normally discuss sensitive issues like polygamy with the general Israeli public.

Third District Judge Denise Lindberg also set the parameters concerning who can be considered as an "interested party" to propose trustees.
Attorney Jim Bradshaw told 3rd District Judge Denise Lindberg yesterday during the UEP Trust hearing that the trust's plan to sell Berry Knoll Farm strikes at the "heart and soul" of the community. The land is supposed to be the eventual site of a temple and thus is considered sacred, Bradshaw said. He told the judge that FLDS members believe Wisan purposefully chose to put that particular
''This has gone terribly wrong and the court needs to recognize it.'' That was attorney Jim Bradshaw at yesterday's UEP Trust hearing. He has a point. It has been 3 years and five months since the state tookover the trust and there has been little to show for it, Bradshaw said.

Back in April, some 400 lawyers from around Texas stepped up to represent the 439 children and their mothers after the state raided the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado, home to members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of

The problem is Gov. Avon Lady, she takes the Old Testament literally too, and in that one, God is an insecure, rage-filled hybrid of Bobby Knight and Suge Knight. He’s been alive forever and He has anger issues. He’s like John McCain if John McCain could fart hail. He’s pro-slavery, pro-polygamy and homophobic and he’ll [...]
Polygamy is a "hot topic" in family law scholarship (as well as in the popular media). A few great looking articles with their SSRN abstracts: "'They Ain't Whites; They're Mormons': An Illustrated History of Polygamy as Race Treason" MARTHA M....
