Personally speaking, I have never understood how anyone who has already crossed the line of thinking that the gender requirements of one male to one female are "irrelevant" to constituting a marriage would have any problem with voluntary polygamy involving the liberal mantra called "consenting adults".

There is NO LOGIC to their arguments. Any MAN can marry any WOMAN that will have him.....and vice versa. So much for the ‘equal protection’ clause. I am waiting for one of the proponents to put his/her fingers in their ears and stamp their feet in front of the Supreme Court. Near as I can tell, they want what they want and don't care about anything else, so there! And you better do what they want or you are A) homophobic, B) a bully or both! Oh wait, I forgot racist.

This problem was highlighted at the Supreme Court last month in oral argument over California’s Proposition 8, the state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union of a man and a woman.

In time, the parties involved will be living beings and other living beings. And maybe in future, enlightened jurists will extend it to inanimate objects.

Problem is polygamy has been practiced and accepted longer then sodomy. If liberals are willing to accept sodomy, then their feminists cannot argue against polygamy. IMHO polygamy will offer economy of scale, more exemptions and the head of household will benefit more financially then the traditional couple or gay couple. IRS will definitely be against this. Let us see, average income is 50,000 for a couple, a man with five working wives can have a family income of 150,000 plus six exemptions without kids. While a couple making 150,000 can get only two exemptions without kids. Plus the first wife faces competition from four new wives, the guy may be busy but he has the driver seat in such a family. Besides this will accommodate Muslims, not bad for diversity. If Muzzie men are too busy managing their five wives, they do not have time nor energy to bomb US marathons. Less stressful for bachelors. Can’t decide which girlfriend to marry, marry them all.
