Dawn O'Porter Talks Polygamy

Dawn O'Porter
This morning, in the Independent in the UK, Dawn O'Porter spoke a bit about polygamy:

"Polygamy is not as harmful as tabloids make us believe I did a documentary on polygamy and I visited this affluent family in Utah with three wives and 16 very happy, bright, socialised and interesting kids. Though I'm anti-religion, I admired the way they were bringing up the children within the family unit and I thought, they're making this work. We must stop this tabloid-level judgement of alternative groups of society. We need to look at the good and the bad and try to have a balanced argument."


She was referring to the family she interviewed in Centennial Park.  I am a but disappointed that she didn't mention her interview with me or my family.  Perhaps because we are not "affluent".  But I was VERY pleased with her comments - her open-mindedness and positive outlook.

Thank you, Dawn O'Porter!  You rock!
