I think one of the main reasons polygamy was banned was the fact that polygamists tend to marry girls who are very young 40 year old marrying an 14 year old ect. These girls are brainwashed from birth and it is almost a cultic socieity. Polygamists still exist in Utah and though I have never seen them (only been here a few months) this is what I have heard.
As for gay marriage, if it doesn't hurt anyone let them do it. Soandso getting married in no way hurts me nor anyone else so let them do it. If it makes them happy then it has served their pupurpose. "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happieness"
