Many mainstream mormons still believe that polygamy is okay. And would practice it when it becomes more accepted again.
Uncle Joe Smith taught that the only way to make it into the third heaven was to practice polygamy.

That's what I mean; they let it go under their noses all the time, but when it becomes public, suddenly they have to do something about it.
I don't really see that there's much reason to make polygamy illegal, as long as it's practiced between consenting adults. I don't really get the reasons, from a government standpoint.
