If Gay Marriage is legal then why is it Illegal to have multiple wives or husbands?

OK lets really make this interesting....Here is a question for everyone that agrees that homosexual marriage is a persons right and is legal. What if I want three wives? Why does a state have the right to stop that but not Gay marriage? Seems to me if Gay Marriage is legal then if I want 3 wives there is no one that has a right to tell me no. Not that I want 3 wives...not to get yelled at here but one is too many sometimes. Three would be suicide. But the question stands. What right do you or the courts have to tell me I cant have as many wives as I want???

As long as every one is a consenting adult I would be ok with this. Divorces would be pretty messy though lol

LOL. If it was considered a progressive idea, or if the progressives had thought of it, I'm sure there would be rallies and strikes and lobbying until a new law was introduced and fought over, but eventually passed. But, since it's typically associated with some religions (Islam and Mormon are two I can think of), it must be considered a bad thing by progressives. My question is, how would the IRS manage it?

I remember Gays saying that would not happen. But the more Muslims who emigrate here or are refugees are allowed to have more then one wife. But now they are only allowed one. But using the same logic that our constitution is saying you have to recognize any wedding performed in another state then why not another's country?
