Thoughts from that polygamist reality show...

I was talking with my one friend with the cat after we watched the show, and I was saying it's weird how the family is arguing for marriage recognition, but they'd turn around and vote against gay marriage, probably.

To which, she said that doesn't bother her as much; that happens in democracy all the time, where one party tries to vote away the rights of another. To her, the more interesting thing is when religious groups prevent education for certain members of the group (e.g. women), and so prevents them having the basic prereqs to participate in civil discourse in the country that guarantees the overall group religious freedom.
