Another easy question for me: What do I think of gay marriage? Similar to my views on religion, it isn't for me but it isn't my place to judge what others do. So, gays want to get married? Let em.
I ultimately believe that marriage has no place with government so the gov't should do civil unions to provide all the 'benefits' of marriage only and let the churches decide on "marriage." Oddly enough, I'm also not against polygamy. If more than two consenting adults want to enter into a relationship with some legally defined benefits I've got no issues with that. The key words (and this is important given FLDS) are consenting and adults. I can totally respect the issues with the FLDS church, marrying off children, chasing off the boys so there's no competition for the girls, etc. But amongst consenting adults, who am I to judge if 2 men and a woman or 2 women and a man or 3 men and 2 women or whatever want to "marry" each other? more power to them if they can find that many people to love and be with forever.
