Not quite, a legislature could define marriage as something else and then it would not open all those doors. What opens all those doors is a court deciding that marriage is a right.

Once something becomes a right, then it belongs to everyone. A legislature redefining marriage would keep it still limited, but less limited than in the past.

Somehow all this explicit talk is making me hungry.

Considering that polygamy is already legal in many parts of the world (mostly Islamic countries), polygamists would be in a FAR stronger position to argue that “two person marriage” is discriminatory, especially if their polygamous marriage was already recognized in their country of origin.

I think Alito threw down a much bigger guantlet than that. It won't be just polygamous marriages, there will be no stopping a re-definition of what a "minor" is in order to enable adult/child sexual relationships, for example.

It's already legal for a 16-year-old to marry, with parental consent, in most states. Some states allow even younger, with a judge's approval.

The hidden purpose of the gay marriage movement may indeed be to facilitate legal adult/minor sex. I could see some drug-addict mom giving permission for her child to marry a gay man, in exchange for some cash.

Hmmm... that brings to mind the recent Battlestar Galactica series, where they called the Cylons “toasters”.

There were a few very nice looking “toasters”...
