He did say he would vote against it which I think goes against the whole "do unto others" thing but that's again a different topic.

Absolutely. My response wasn't designed as an attack on Calgaryrocks - in my view his voice is extremely valuable to the whole issue.
Part of the reason I find this issue so interesting is that I think there is a fairly large segment of the Canadian population that is pro-gay-marriage, but anti-polygamy. And I'm interested to see whether these individuals adopt the types of arguments which Calgaryrocks seems to endorse - arguments from religion and tradition (or even emotion) - which are very likely the same arguments they would have rejected with respect to gay marriage.
