"Traditional western values" change over time...I mean at one point people argued over whether women had souls are not
what, what's wrong with polygamy between consenting adults? Not my cup of tea personally but if they are all in love...together...hmm actually now you've got me interested.
The incest thing brings up some health issues that make it a bit more sticky, but in principle, not my cup of tea, but if their both consenting adults, and in love, why stop them?
and about the population decline thing, I highly doubt that it has anything to do with legalizing same sex marriage, it probably has more to do with the usual trend of mature, developed nations, trend towards marrying later, and having fewer kids. A very good example of population decline from this is Japan. Europe has been trending towards a population decline for awhile.
