I'm not sure I agree with that. The way I see it, at least, the base argument for homosexual marriage (which I support, btw, for this very reason) is that it is not the place of society to place boundaries on the validity of different types of love between consenting adults. In this way, allowing multiple partner marriages is a necessary extension of allowing homosexual marriages. Any other explanation for the legalization of homosexual marriage, IMO, is simply a compromise to appease those who would fear a departure from their own traditional values.
