By definition and law, marriage is a contract between a man and a woman. Everyone here keeps missing that very basic but relevent point.

"Over time, antipolygamists convinced Congress to ban polygamy, and this ban was upheld by the Supreme Court. In Reynolds v. United States, decided in 1879, the justices adopted the antipolygamists' view that plural marriage was inhumane...marriage in most civilized nations was a civil contract, and usually regulated by law. This was so because marriage was the foundation upon which society may be said to be built, and out of its fruits spring social relations and social obligations and duties... the boundaries of marriage are defined by the state, not individuals. In Reynolds, the Supreme Court said that a local community could not define marriage more expansively than the rest of the country. "

Its not a matter of my (or the majorities) prejudices but rather a recalcitrant minority insistant upon acceptance of their viewpoints.
