The way I say it, is that gay marriage establishes the usual liberal/libertarian rule for “marriage” as being anything that consenting adults say it is, which means that not only polygamy, but all kinds of relationships will come under the word “marriage” in time.

Yes. However, right now in America, human nature being what it is will step in and limit those things, I think. Laws are man made but the instinct to survive is given by God and man cannot overcome that with his law and science. Perversions of the man/woman union will create new and deadly disease which will not be contained with medicines. Add to that the jealousies and envies which come from broken relationships which are bound to occur frequently when anything goes and you will have great chaos and unhappiness from no legal responsibility in this area. The biggie will be the sexual abuse of children if pedophilia is redefined to make it acceptable by the pedophiles in power. Most normal people will not accept that any way except by force and most people will die rather than to allow that kind of abuse of children. I believe the majority of people do not want marriage redefined but we have many homosexuals who are now powerful in government, in academia, in the corporate world and dare I say in, in big religion. Sometimes I think the subject should be dropped and then it will get really bad to the point where society itself will act in response to the problems which will occur. When all the taboos are removed, then those who cannot control their sexual urges will seek sex 24 hours a day and many will be stalked or harassed. This was one of the things which took down ancient Rome. Will we be next? Time will tell.
