I wasn't really supporting polygamy but trying to determine how the equal protection clause applies to marriage or any other topic. How do we know what it applies to (same sex marriage) and does not apply to (polygamy). How is one marriage equality but not the other?
When we create things not in the Constitution that we like, the other side can create things we do not like.

Agreed. The problem is using religion to determine how a government taxes marriage. IIRC, there's about 1138 Federal rights and benefits awarded in law to married people. Such things as parental rights, rights of survivorship and testifying against a spouse.
Personally, I DGAF what it's called as long as all the laws apply equally and fairly to everyone. Not a lawyer, but polygamous marriages would seem to get very legally complicated very quickly. Specifically in the areas of divorce and survivorship.
Regardless, it's not the government's place to dictate who gets married tax breaks between consenting adults and who doesn't. Either fix the laws to apply to all or eliminate the laws.
