In other words, same-sex marriage would become "popular" among some previously straight people and their marriages and families would be ruined.
EDIT: that's all from me. I'm on my way out to get drunk and hopefully meet some liberal minded ladies who want to practice polygamy for a few hours!

I think the arguement was more that marriage was a religous sacrement between a man and a women, by allowing same sex people to marry it would destroy that sacremental value, I am pretty sure people were not floating the idea that if same sex marriage was legalized.....people would leave their husbands and wifes to go marry the same sex as a fad.
As for your venture into polygamy....good hunting...
