This country is supposed to be organized around what the people want it to be, not specific values or the Christian agenda. It should reflect American values, and if Americans choose to be more accepting of things like gay marriage, then things will change. As they always have. The institution of marriage has changed several times, and societies continually change. Interracial marriage used to be illegal too, but it eventually became legal. There is nothing wrong with a person wanting some things changed in the society he or she lives in because societies cannot be tailored to fit the needs of every individual person. I personally disagree with the idea that gay marriage is related to polygyny or polyandry, but even if polygamists were to argue that it is, there is a big financial difference. Gay marriage would only require benefits to cover one spouse, which is the same situation for heterosexual marriages, and in polygamist relationships benefits would be required to cover several spouses,which could end up being quite expensive. It's simply a different situation. But, say that there was no difference between gay marriage and polygamy, fundamentally I have no problem with the idea of polygamy either. If it only involved consenting adults, meaning people above the age of 18, I cannot really object to it. It's not my position to tell adults what they should or shouldn't do to make themselves happy if the practice(s) doesn't harm anyone else. I have a small problem with the psychological aspect of polygamy because I would be concerned with the several spouses in the relationship not feeling satisfied with the amount of attention that they receive, but again, that's not up to me.
