Whether or not homosexual marriage is acceptable shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not polygamy is acceptable. They are two seperate issues, and should be considered such.

If it is true that allowing homosexual marriage would lead directly to polygamy, then the steps of progression should be detailed to explain why removing the gender requirement for the legal benefits of marriage implies that the limit of two within a marriage contract should be removed as well.
