Your response to this issue baffles me. You boldly assert that if gay marriage were allowed that guidelines should be enacted to prohibit polygamy. That could be the case. But if the definition of marriage is going to be silly putty in our hands, then I’d imagine the polygamists would and could start pushing the issue as homosexuals have and demand that marriage be defined to accept polygamy as legitimate. How would polygamy be stopped? By fighting politcally. Given your logic, why fault those who oppose gay marriage? The same ‘fault’ could be applied to gays and straights holding the view that marriage should be defined as monogamous. By accepting a new definition of marriage does, in fact, open the floodgates to all points of view to be addressed in the marketplace of ideas. And your argument ‘…[s]traight people can’t practice polygamy, and gay people can’t practice polygamy’ justifies the position of those who oppose gay marriage. The position is, ‘Straight poeple can’t marry members of the same sex, and gay people can’t marry members of the same sex.’ Equal rights.
