I find that the argument about where the line to be drawn is a sketchy use of transference, but also something that needs to be addressed.
Personally, I do not have an argument for why gays should be allowed to get married and not polygamists. I honestly am going to throw it out there and say that I don't see why it is illegal (polygamy), as long as the parties are 18 (the line is drawn there because that is when it is determined that people are ready to make adult decisions according to the law).... and everything else is perfectly legal. Secondly, legalizing polygamy provides protection to the Second-Third-Fourth-Fifth, etc wife that always get tossed around to some other husband on Big Love, cuz Roman Grant is a bastard! lol I digress!
However, if you have a good perspective, then I think it is a valid point of the discussion. To get gay marriage in this country, we will need to change people's minds, not just the courts, and people are not necessary logical, and often times use transference (courts sometimes too), so technically all forms of thought on the subject our valid, because either side is going to have to work on the people as well as the courts.
