Not at all. Look at how Roe v. Wade was passed under the radar.

I disagree. While the legalization of something is important because it gives credence to its acceptability, the popularization is what makes the difference. If Roe were effected by only a few took advantage of it, it wouldn't have had much of an effect. The single biggest change that has occurred, the acceptability of living together and even having kids without benefit of marriage, did not result from any change in law. It became popular on its own. Any changes to the law resulted from the increased acceptance and popularity. If there is no groundswell for plural marriages, it won't matter much if they're legal or not.
