Except that homosexuality doesn't fall into the same catagory as polyginy or polyandry. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality is, while being partial to group love isn't. Homosexuality has been convincingly shown to be biologically determined- a fairly large part of the population quite simply is homosexual. Also the changes required in legislation, fiscal regulations and whatnot to make gay marriage possible are minimal; while the same can't be said for polyamorous groupings.
Bull. This was bull years ago and is bull today. The verdict is still out on the Born that way assumption. Its still just a guess and most studies just mark their results and allow you to determine what is likely. I do like your willingness to just wing it, though.
