Once the State sanctions marriages other than between one man and one woman there is no logical reason not to permit other combinations. One man to one woman can be uniquely justified on the basis of what is normative for producing the next generation of good citizens. If marriage is sanctioned on the basis of rights, or emotion (how the various parties feel about each other) then it is open season for whatever combinations people can dream up.

if you define marriage based upon the feelings of those involved, then you end up with polygamy, beastiality (I really dig my cat!), incest, heck, I dig my motorcycle, why not?
looks like the cat is out of the bag, now.
