The point she is trying to make (and its a good one) is not that polygamy is illegal. It is that if gay marriage is a “right”, then what moral objection could be made to polygamy, or incest? And if the answer to that is “none”, as logically there couldnt be, then the next step is necrophilia, bestiality, and ultimately paedophilia

Exactly.

Hell, why not challenge the laws on prostitution? There will be a stronger argument against criminalization of the contract between two consenting adults once a "right" to marry is found to be fundamental.

I see where you're coming from, but my understanding is that soliciting is what is illegal, not the act of prostitution itself. Still, the principle holds true.
