"There is much more cultural tradition around the world for polygamy than there is for same sex couples raising children as man and spouse."

There's a great argument for you. You could say the same thing about wife-beating, slavery, and blood feuds.

Someone sent me a humor forward the other day that consisted of an impressive evening photograph of the Great Pyramids with the banner caption, "SLAVERY. It gets sh*t done."

Jacob, David and various other Biblical figures had more than one wife at the same time and some had many concubines as well.

If Biblical precedent doesn't work for you than the code of moral law you abide by is yours alone so why subject everyone else to it.

In America a man can impregnate 5 willing women and if he is rich enough, be forced to provide financially for each of his children, as he should. If those 5 women all decided they wanted to live in the same house with the man and all care for the children of the same father, the law is against it.

It seems to me homosexuals want the government to recognize gay marriage to not only be accepted as normal behavior but also to reap government benefits like tax breaks for the married.
