but what about polygamy? How come the polygamist's definition of marriage shouldn't be given "equal protection"?

Nice sleight of hand, but "equal protection" applies to people not marriage definitions.

That is, if straight couples have the right to marry, so too should gay couples.

Now, if some people (Mormons for example) were allowed to have group marriages but others (non Mormons) were denied group marriage, then you'd have an Equal Protection argument going.

Right now you don't.
