I'm sure the gay community would love nothing more than to advance the idea that polygamy is a step in the direction of gay marriage but let's face it - the ideas aren't in the same universe.

There is nothing stopping a gay couple in America from entering into a contract that is legally indistinguishable from marraige. That coupled with the fact that no major religion recognizes/sanctions/conducts gay marraiges tells me its more about a societal endorsement than an actual relationship.

But, I'm not gay so its possible I'm misrepresenting the gay point of view. I am open to disagreement.
