I checked this, and looks like you are correct. This also means that the following could be decriminalized since it takes place between consenting adults in private:
Adultery
Father-daughter/mother-son consensual sex
Fornication
Spouse swapping
Threesomes
Sadomasochism
Taking pictures of the act
Buying sex toys
So how come those fathers and daughters can't get married? It is consensual. They love each other. They just want to have the same benefits as other married couples. This should work for siblings too, or mothers who want to marry their daughters etc.
Since my logic is obviously so faulty, I'd like to know WHY it is so important for gay people to be able to get married, and why the same argument can't apply to siblings, and father/daughters or other family members.

Umm, many of those things are not illegal. Adultery is, in most (maybe all) states. The other thing on your list that is illegal in every state is the father-daughter/mother-son consensual sex and the reason for it is genetic. Buying sex toys, engaging in threesomes or S&M is not illegal in most states. Neither is taking pictures of the act.
I absolutely don't see a Constitutional amendment passing. The ERA was first proposed in 1923 and hasn't become a part of the Constitution yet and that one seems like it should have been a no brainer.
