If you could come up with an argument under which not allowing gay marriage violates equal protection and/or due process but not allowing polygamy does not violate EP and/or DP, you would say (write) it. But you cannot.
I think at the end of the day, the reason that some people support gay marriage and don't support polygamy is because they see gays as mainstream and the polygamists as people with freaky wierd religious beliefs that they don't want to live in their neighborhoods.
I agree that they have freaky wierd religious beliefs (are there any other kind?) and I don't want polygamists living in my neighborhood (see Utah is good for something). But if no one can explain why under the law gay marriage must be allowed but polygamy can not only not be allowed but subject to criminal penalties (bigamy is a crime in most states), then my predictions are not unfounded.
