Without ignoring the fact that monogamous arranged marriages forced on young muslim and asian and Indian women happen in this country, too, yet I don't see anyone arguing against allowing those cultures to engage in arranged marriages. And without ignoring that if 2 men marry each other, that will leave 2 women without potential partners, too.

Or, someone should set out how, based on teh argument used to justify gay marriage--namely an equal protection one--it inherently extends to polygamy. You conveniently ignored my response to your non-answer yesterday. Maybe I haven't been keeping up, but I have yet to see an answer that's not a) a bald assertion b) "look at the language" or c) what's the difference between 2 and 3.
Seems to me that the burden is on the proponent as to why a principle extends further than it currently does.
