Because SSM, and opposite sex marriage are the same institution, with the same amount of people, the same benefits, same way to divorce etc, while polygamous marriage isn't.
It's gender discrimination with no logical basis.Current marriage laws do not discriminate, marriage is between one man and one woman and all men and women have equal right to engage in marriage.
What if the world turned on it's ear and Mac, you had the right to marry any man you wanted. That'd be cool, right? Because you could still get married.

What if aliens landed and stole all our cats?
Yes it is. Men have certain rights that women don't and women have certain rights that men don't.No it isn't. Both men and women are equally allowed to marry.
What if aliens landed and stole all our cats?
Well, they obviously aren't...otherwise there would be no distinction.
You honesty can't unlock your brain long enough to consider what it's like to be Your Star?
The only distinction is that there is two men, or two women in SSM, everything else is the same.
Empathy is not something anti-SSM people want to look at, because they know it would make them feel bad.

What's your beef. Honest to [expletive-deleted], why DO YOU care? Why are you just fine with an entire segment of the populace being denied the right to marry.
Yes it is. Men have certain rights that women don't and women have certain rights that men don't.
Don't want to answer the question because you know you would try to fight for heterosexual marriage just like we are trying to fight for same sex marriage.
Well, that would be a distinction wouldn't it?
Men have the right to marry women. Women have the right to marry men. Men have a right that women do not have. Women have a right that men do not have. It's pretty simple.No, both have the equal right to marry.
No...what if's are pointless.
But it's not fundamentally changing the institution like polygamy would.
I find it interesting that you left out the primary reason...religious belief. Did you not think that that was a viable option for the poll?
For every religion that uses the Old Testament, marriage is the first ceremony and institution that is created and it was created by God and performed by God. You can't find a more holy ceremony and/or institution. It just doesn't exist.
Yes, I know...tons of people have bastardized marriage in the past and some seem to think that is justification for continuing the improper trend. It is not.
As for me, and a growing number of people, it is a violation of the First Amendment to regulate marriage in any manner. If I had my way, the government would drop all references to marriage. Then, if they chose, they could replace marriage with a secular social contract. That would not violate the First Amendment and it would provide a much easier path to the fairness you seek.
Men have the right to marry women. Women have the right to marry men. Men have a right that women do not have. Women have a right that men do not have. It's pretty simple.
You only think that because it does not fit your argument. If you really looked at it, you would realize that discriminating against anyone without due process is wrong.
