Its the whole premise of equal rights. If gays can marry, why cant a brother marry his sister, they are consenting right? Its a slippery slope. It only goes downhill.
No, man, it's not a slippery slope. That is a talking point that doesn't make any sense when analyzed. A brother and sister, lets use that example. Why would it be wrong if they got married? Because we know that if they were to have kids, there is a good chance that those kids would end up with genetic issues. That alone justifies putting it in a separate category. Same with animals, children, and people unfit to give consent.
But polygamy, what is inherently wrong with that if it's among consenting adults? Why should religious people have the right to define what constitutes a marriage under United States law? Why should religious values be injected into American law at all? Is that not discriminatory against those of us that are not religious or follow a different religion with different religious values?
