And marrying for love didn't really occur until the 19th century. Your point?
Considering that heterosexual incest and heterosexual polygamy are equally illegal, there isn't much footing to do so. All successful court activity has revolved around the notion of "equality," not "special rights," contrary to the rhetoric one hears from the far right.

Well, once again, explain why the adult gay uncle cannot marry his adult gay nephew? How about adult gay first cousins? Why is that an issue of special rights as opposed to one of equality?
In heterosexual incest, the primary arguement against it is the birth defects of potential offspring. In Gay incest, this problem does not exist.
