I was wondering if you could go a little more indepth on this please. I am always confused by the comparison to polygamy and beastiality. Especially when the issue of marriage is brought up when two adults of the same sex want to get together for a monogomous relationship. I have trouble seeing what's so wrong with these relationships.

It's a perversion of the natural state of affairs, and as such it weakens the social fabric in the same way polygamy and bestiality do. Consenting adults can of course do what they wish, but society needs to sets some standards on the degree of perversion it's willing to publicly acknowledge and embrace.
Social moral standards affects the development of children. For examples, adults are free to engage in heterosexual orgies, but it's harmful for children to learn about these at an early stage or think they're an acceptable behaviour. Teenagers coming of age are best served by seeking out monogamous, emotionally fulfilling relationships with members of the opposite sex. Decreeing other alternatives to be acceptable is bad for society and individuals in my opinion.

And in the same way that anal sex, condoms, vibrators, internet porn, electricity, vaccines and GMOs do?
