Yes, but you represented those cases to state that there is a reason and that procreation is the only reason.

No I didn't say it was the only reason and neither did the Supreme Court. Reread my posts and read the court opinions if you have any questions in that regard.

And I've yet to see you explain why the logic supporting eliminating gender restrictions on marriage also supports numerical limitations.

I have said just the opposite - that eliminating gender restrictions supports not having numerical limitations.

Equal protection treats suspect classes differently than non-suspect lines, such as between 1, 2, 3, 4, and any other number.

Gender is an intermediate scrutiny class whereas religion is a strict scrutiny class. Polygamy is a religious practice to those who engage in it. So bringing up the suspect classes argument only strengthens the case for allowing polygamy.
