46. Total BS.
This is a right wing argument to deflect, and nothing more.

You claim you are against plural marriage ... and yet you use it as a reason to be against gay marriage.

You are against gay marriage, so just say that.

You are a person who is clearly against plural marriage, demanding that people who support gay marriage must also defend plural marriage.

No. The people who need to defend plural marriage are the people who support plural marriage.

As a straight person who now supports gay marriage, I know that my support for gay marriage came from meeting actual gay people who wanted to get married. As a straight guy, it was never a big issue for me. In fact, I did not know it was an big issue at all. The gay people I knew never mentioned it. It was, for me, a blind spot.

Now ... perhaps you can introduce me to some polygamist friends of yours.
