Including polygamists and those who want to marry their cousins? Are there any rules that are constitutional and unbigoted? If so, what are they?

Gay marriage advocates are not asking for a radical shift in the definition of marriage. Allowing marriage between family members is taboo in many cultures for the genetic diseases that often affect offspring of such unions. Additionally, marriage is the recognize union between two people who (hopefully) love each other. So is gay marriage. It isn't asking for three people to be involved, or animals, or incest, or anything else. Just for the right of two people who love each other to join together in matrimony. Thats it.
To compare gay marriage to polygamy or incest, by the way, reveals a truly abhorrent set of moral values. What happened, forgot bestiality?
