There's a difference between opposing such things respectfully, and proudly proclaiming in public you believe gay marriage is equal to incest, polygamy, and pedophilia.

If one believes that same gender sex is immoral, then it would be hypocritical for one who holds that position to not equate it to other sexual activities they view as immoral.

As for myself, while I don't acknowledge the equation to incest and pedophilia because they are activities that it is essentially impossible to argue involve all parties involved engaging in informed consent to.  However, equating gay marriage to polygamy is perfectly reasonable, so long as the individuals involved all consent to the arrangement.  I ask you, since you seem to favor treating the two differently, on what basis do you find gay marriage acceptable and polygamy as unacceptable?

I actually don't find polygamy unacceptable. But one wouldn't lead to the other. And comparing the two is ridiculous because one is the oppression of one group of people simply for being a group of people, the other is regarding the structure of marriage itself as opposed to oppressing a group of people.

People who are in favor of polygamy aren't a group of people?

That makes no sense literally, so I'm presuming that you mean that polygamists are not the same type of grouping that gay people are. How are they a different type of group, and on what logical basis should they be treated differently so that state recognition of gay marriage does not lead to state recognition of polygamy or vice versa?
