I have to wonder why the media and Left are so deadset on pushing homosexual marriage when they are just as opposed to polygamy. At least polygamy has deep historic and cultural roots to draw on for its legitimacy -- and it can be further extended into broader concepts of "family" like Heinlein's "line marriages". Side issues like this are why I firmly believe the push for homosexual marriage is less about "love" and the reasons given by homosexual activists and more about destroying any traditional structures or organizations within European or American society. If for nothing else, I want to hold the line until they come up with more rational arguments and consistency in their reasoning.
So to see if I understand you correctly, you are against gay marriage because it's "about destroying any traditional structures or organization within society?" So if two people want their union (IE: Relationship) legally recognized for the various benefits that comes with a legal marriage it's all part of some scheme to destroy these traditional values you hold so dear? So does divorce play into your beliefs? Speaking of tradition, many cultures recognize that you can have multiple wives (like in Islam), but what if a woman wants to adopt the same tradition only reversed and have multiple husbands? It's not traditional, so we shouldn't adapt to the changing social environment we live in, right?

What's a more rational argument than enjoying the same rights and benefits, as well as the legitimacy and recognition, that "traditional" couples enjoy?
