Homosexual marriage is no different than heterosexual marriage except for both have the same genitalia. Both enter into the agreement of their own free will.
To argue that they have to fight for those 'other' things is arguing the slippery slope and that is a losing argument.

Superbelt,
I'm pretty surprised to see you state these things because you are usually very well informed.
I would just encourage you to look into a few things:
1) that polygamy does not in many cases involve underaged girls married off to older men (I'm assuming you are using our cultural definition of underage, and by extension, limiting that statement to stateside)
2) the concept of "brainwash," which has been studied and refuted extensively
3) That incest carries with it the almost guaranteed, or even high probability, of birth defects (particularly, examine ethnographies documenting where various cultures' incest taboos and their functions arose from)
If I don't get too caught up in my stuff later this week, maybe I'll be able to drop some info back in here for you. Maybe roachboy has something at his fingertips, as well.
