Why is same-sex marriage ok but not polygamy or polyandry?

Same-sex marriage is not related to polygamy, just as interracial marriage or interdenominational marriage has nothing to do with polygamy.


Will same-sex marriage lead to polygamy?

There is no evidence to indicate that it will, although the argument is sometimes used by opponents. In fact, opposite-sex marriage is the one that has its roots in polygamy, notably in the Old Testament. One country that legalized polygamy in 2014, Kenya, is extremely homophobic. Same-sex marriage is not legal there, and any type of same-sex sexual activity is considered a crime punishable by law. So, as far as trends go on the polygamy scene, same-sex marriage definitely does not go hand-in-hand with polygamy, rather polygamy flourishes only in cultures with extreme anti-gay bias.
