Just because gay marriage entails the number of men or women it does NOT include both men AND women in ONE marriage. Polygamy does NOT entail mutliples of the same gender who actually SLEEP or have Sexual relations with one another!
Just because Ducks are birds and Eagles are birds Does Not make Ducks Eagles.

Gee, you sound like people who argue against the analogy of interracial marriage!
Traditional marriage is usually defined by one man and one women marrying each other. That definition covers the
number of people entering into marriage, as well as the gender. Polygamy and gay marriage are the very flipside of that traditional definition--one challenges the number, and the other challenges the gender. Both are the main challenge to traditional marriage--your movement and polygamy are two sides of the marriage-challenge coin, so to speak. You have a lot more in common with the polygamy movement than you apparently realize. That's why early on your movement embraced the idea of polygamy, as I showed with that first gay rights charter.
