I don't think it would work. Gays are asking for equal treatment under an existing law - they want the right to have one husband or wife, just like a straight person. Asking for a new right or new law - the right to marry multiple people - is different than asking for equal treatment under an existing law.

Do most GFY Libertarians support polygamy or do they think the government should make it illegal?
