If you are into discriminating against people for their sexual orientation, that is actually completely within the bounds of the law in Utah (if that's what you're into).
I definitely wouldn't recommend going to Provo or Orem... where there are many polygamists.
Keep in mind that, until relatively recently, homosexuality was as socially taboo, if not more so, than polygamy. Now, I won't weigh in on whether it's fair to group the two; perhaps it's not. But before you publicly castigate a community for their views on a particular sexual orientation, you should refrain from committing the same offense.
No worries; I think I understood your intent, but hijacked the wording to make a point =/ In any case, you're spot on that the culture of fundamentalist polygamy has myriad issues with respect to authority, abuse, etc..., for which tolerance is not a solution.
I suspect a tech company which fired people on that basis, even if fully within UT law, would be punished in the marketplace (both customers and employees).
Mind if we ask you to rearrange your own comment, or at least clarify any differences, if any, you may happen to see between....oh...innate sexual orientation... and the historic and recent practice of polygamy in Utah. Maybe you'd comment on anything you know about the leaders of recent polygamist "churches" and their treatment of women and their attitude toward and/or behavior around sex with children.
You know. Since, yeah, you not-so-disingenuously went ahead and grouped polygamy with homosexuality as both somehow innate "sexual orientations", as you groped toward analogy.
Polygamy is very damaging to the community. The boys they have to kick out to support the high female/make ratios become wards of the state, have little education, and it's just a sad state of affairs. This and the pervasive child rape going on, there are good reasons for the UT AG to be harsh on this.
