I think anti-gay-marriage people fear - correctly - that if gay marriages
are allowed, then the next step will be the legalization of polygamies or
even other weird combinations.

I would say: go for broke. There should be something like a civil union,
made of 2 or more people, with fixed rules for forming [adding a new
member] and dissolving [removing a member or splitting in half], with
no mention to sexual intercourses. A marriage is just a special form
of it.

I know a pair of sisters that live together like a marriage [except
sex, of course]. They have *no* legal protection for simple things,
like extending insurance to the other. Why they can't be "married"?
