Why shouldn't we?
If you are insinuating that altering marriage to include same-sex couples but not polygamy or polygany is arbitrary, then I would ask why limiting it to opposite-sex couples is not arbitrary?
The fact is that the argument over whether marriage should be between more than two people is a different debate entirely. Comparing the alteration of marriage to include same-sex couples with any old alteration of marriage you can come up with is not an effective or logical argument against gay marriage.
