I know, this is a big sticking point for the right-wing to wrap themselves around with attempts to ban same-sex-marriage. I remember Faux News people like Bill O’Rielly bringing up how allowing same-sex marriage would "invite" polygamy activists (and bestiality) in the debate and demand legal sanctioning. It's the whole vilification and moralizing thing going one step further with a huge Christian right-wing flavor. Really strange when you consider that the major organized religious body in the US representing polygamy historically is Latter day Saints- a Christian faith! The one that poured millions of dollars into the 2008 prop 8 election here in CA. from outside the state!
Yo, the irony of it all!
