The Slippery Slope?
http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/06/27/polygamists-celebrate-supreme-court-marriage-rulings/
Polygamists are celebrating the Supreme Court’s marriage rulings, Buzzfeed reports:
The Supreme Court’s rulings in favor of same-sex marriage Wednesday were greeted with excitement by polygamists across the country, who viewed the gay rights victory as a crucial step toward the country’s inevitable acceptance of plural marriage.
Anne Wilde, a vocal advocate for polygamist rights who practiced the lifestyle herself until her husband died in 2003, praised the court’s decision as a sign that society’s stringent attachment to traditional “family values” is evolving.
“I was very glad… The nuclear family, with a dad and a mom and two or three kids, is not the majority anymore,” said Wilde. “Now it’s grandparents taking care of kids, single parents, gay parents. I think people are more and more understanding that as consenting adults, we should be able to raise a family however we choose.”
“We’re very happy with it,” said Joe Darger, a Utah-based polygamist who has three wives. “I think [the court] has taken a step in correcting some inequality, and that’s certainly something that’s going to trickle down and impact us.”

Legalized polygamy would make bible thumpers happy I thought. The good book is all about it.
Anyways I don't care what consenting adults do but Christian polygamy leads many times to forced marriages with under aged girls.
As a practical matter I don't see it ever happening. The gov't would have to change all its tax and licensing forms.

"Christian polygamy leads many times to forced marriages with under aged girls."
You are confusing that with Mohammed and Islam.
