Does equality for all really mean equality for all?

    Today our country took a major step in the argument of same sex marriage. Now as i am so , so on this issue i figured i would bring some things to the light. The argument on this moral issue was simple "who are you to judge what love is?" Now that honestly is a very good question, but i don't think it justifies homosexuals being able to marry. The reason this issue does matter is it will now become a gateway for others to justify their reasons for wanting to marry that is widely looked at as taboo in our society.
    The main group it will attract are polygamists, and the argument they will pose will be one that will be virtually impossible to oppose. It will be the same "who are you to judge what love is?" argument. But on top of that in some cases their religion will back them.. How can you argue with a religion that is over 200 years old and they are devout to it, and roll that together with the "who are you to judge what love is?" point and that's a stronger argument than homosexuals had.
    Polygamists wont be the only groups it will ultimately attract however, unfortunately it will also attract groups such as: people who practice incest, pedophiles who want to marry children, and all sorts of other groups. Now granted these things are clearly wrong and you may think i'm taking this to the extreme however it has to be brought up. As outlandish as these claims may seem they are realistic. The same argument of "who are you to judge what love is?". It opens the door people!!! That's all i'm saying. It's time to take a step back and ask how far do you let "equality" go ? And is the concept of of "equality tarnished by a changing society? Marriage was set as a standard you meet the requirements you get married, if you don't meet them you don't. People want to separate this issues from same sex marriage, saying it's not fair to compare those things. Those people will have to answer the same question that won this same sex debate
    "who are you to judge what love is?"
