Canadian Polygamist Will Use Gay Marriage Defense

“The lawyer for a British Columbia man charged with having 20 wives says he’ll use the same-sex marriage law as a defense. The lawyer, Blair Suffredine, says gays can marry in Canada, so why can’t a man have more than one wife. The lawyer says standards have changed. He’s representing 52-year-old Winson Blackmore, leader of a polygamous group in Bountiful, in southeastern British Columbia.” [Fox]
