Gay polygamous marriage...

[brainfart]

I'm gay and personally believe the state has no business recognizing
marriage of any type because it is a religious tradition and also
because it is none of the government's business who you live with.

Opponents of legalizing gay marriage suggest it would lead to the
legalization of polygamy, while proponents of gay marriage say such
a suggestion is ludicrous, that while same-sex marriage is perfectly
natural, polygamous heterosexual marriage is so bizarre and unheard
of that no one would ever consider legalizing it.

One reason gay marriage is supposed to be so important is so that
partners can receive benefits like inheritance rights and health
insurance. Consider that a gay man costs $600 million in lifetime
HIV treatment costs, and that his partner also costs $600 million.
Consider that in the American gay community a "relationship" is
defined as the other partner still being there in the morning
after the drugs wear off, so that the partners are essentially
"married," at least in common-law terms. Now consider that a gay
man with health insurance wakes up among 30 other gay men who
participated in a meth orgy last Friday, and that according to
common law modified to include homosexual polygamy, all 30 men are
spouses and all eligible for coverage under the first gay man's
medical insurance policy and that all 30 require $600 million per
year in HIV treatment.

Marriage does not come from Christianity or Judaism, if that's what
you're trying to imply. It existed before those religious
institutions. Do a search on marriage in ancient Rome. Here's one
writing that's interesting:

This isn't about living with someone. It's about being entitled to the
rights automatically conferred upon a spouse.

It's called a "slippery slope" argument. In reality, we are dealing
with same-sex marriage, not polygamy. There is no evidence that legal
same-sex marriage will lead to polygamy. And even if it were to do
that, we are still left with the question of why two people of the same
sex cannot get married.

Where are people saying this? The problem is the fallacious slippery
slope argument -- there's another one used: "If same-sex marriage is
allowed, pretty soon a man will be able to marry a goat!" See how
ridiculous that is?

And the ability to make health-care decisions, to be present in the
emergency room and ICU, to make funeral arrangements... all of the
benefits and obligations of legal marriage.

The rest of your post is ludicrous and not worthy of a response.
