I agree. But having made the change for what were political reasons, they had to justify it to themselves and their congregations as having been done for religious reasons. That has made them all the more emphatic in their revised orthodoxy. Given that this revision was about a century ago, I think it's quite misleading and ultimately counterproductive to imply that current LDS's association with polygamy requires them to take certain positions on other issues.
