Gay Marriage

There is a lot of opposition to gay marriage from the vocal minority.  Many of them (ad nauseum!) state that allowing gays to marry will mean the redefinition of marriage.  They often state that, in the bible (the infallible word of god) god states that marriage is between a man and a woman.  REALLY?  Lets see what the bible REALLY has to say.

Old Testament
Genesis 
polygamy: Lamech 4:19
incest: Abraham and Sarai 12:13, 17:15-16, 20:12
concubines: Abraham 25:6
polygamy: Esau 26:34, 28:9, 36:2,6
polygamy and a lot of other crazy shit: Jacob - Rachel, Leah, Billah, Zilpah: 29:18-30, 31:17

Exodus
incest: 6:20
polygamy: 21:10, 22:16-17 (some other fucked up shit in there too)

Leviticus
if a man has sex with his father's wife (his MOTHER?!) kill them both 20:11
if a man has sex with his mother in law and his wife (incest on the wife's part!) all three must be burned to death 20:14
