Why do you have to accept them? You only need a legitimate societal reason to prohibit one form or another (like we have done with close family marriages, etc). There may be several reasons that polygamy is bad that aren't shared with gay marriage.

Not if it's defined as one man and one woman.

What argument leads us to define the sky as blue?

No, achurch could marry whoever it wants (subject to other laws against pedophelia, etc.) But it would have only religious purpose and effect.

So your argument is... tradition? What is the tradition based on? Not a real compelling argument there, Tex. Particularly since polygamy probably has a longer tradition than monogamy throughout history.
