First off, dippin, you had a great post. You eloquently put what I have been trying to put into words for several months.
Second of all, gay civil unions and gay marriages occur everyday in quite a few countries. I have yet to hear of legislation come from those countries asking for incest to be made equal to gay unions. These countries that have full rights for gay people aren't falling into the sea like some say will happen if we legalize gay unions/marriage here in the United States. Polygamy as a pure social construct isn't wrong to me. It is when one leader shifts it to controlled Polygyny (one man, many wives) that is begins to break down. It isn't fully consenting adults at that point. It becomes controlling and tyrannical in nature.
