I think that talking about polygamy because of the recent decision to allow same sex couples the right to marry is insulting. Being a polygamist is absolutely, without a doubt a choice. Being homosexual, in my opinion, is not. Jon Stewart riffs on this a bit here:

This is exactly the kind of hyperbolic "next step" that the right wingers are hoping for. This completely de-legitimizes the human rights and equal rights nature of the battle that was just won.
