When & where did YOU learn that Joseph Smith was a polygamist?

I was 15, reading the YouTube comment section. I didn’t believe it bc I’d spent *years* learning about the founding of the church & no one mentioned polygamy until Brigham Young.

We can do so much better.
Like, you’re already getting kids to accept & understand the concept of Mormon polygamy—even among prophets.

The fact that we always leave JS out of the conversation is bizarre & uhhh kinda proves that deep down we all know polygamy is something we should not be proud of.
