I can't really give any form of validation towards incest.. it's just wrong.
However, the polygamy thing is a slippery one..but one that is feasible. I was just having this discussion with someone the other day. They proposed that if the government is redefining the idea of marriage (same sex), that in his view, polygamy is no different in it being a different form. He doesn't condone it, and worries about how the children in such a marriage could operate, but he's just saying it seems far to allow that definition as well.
For my own thoughts, I'm kind of on the fence about it. Sure if they are all consenting adults then they should be allowed to do what they want; but the polygamist lifestyle seems archaic and from what I know (which is very very little) seems to enslave children and women.
SO while I'm for same sex marriage.. I think that ultimately I would be opposed to polygamy and most certainly against incest, but I'm not so blind to see that if you change the definition for one group, another group is going to want the same treatment.
