I cannot believe you are making this ignorant argument again. You seems to be unable or unwilling to understand the concept of consent. Pedophilia, incest all lack that fundamental component.
I have no issue with polygamy. What consenting adults do is entirely up to them and no one else.
Marriage means what ever we want it to mean. Today it is a legal contract that soon, any two (or more) people may enter into.
And yes you did make the argument. You made the argument when you said we should not change the definition of marriage. Well that definition did change when women were no longer considered property. Love did not used to be part of marriage. It was an exchange of property (women) for power, money, alliances or something else.
You want the definition that suites your religious POV. You are no longer the ruling class who gets to make those decisions. Get used to the new power structure.

The religious POV evolved over thousands of years of human existence through good times and bad times, mostly through bad times.
As we evolved from barbaric cave dwellers, the natural selection process dictated and institutionalized the notion that a dedicated and committed full time mother and father pairing ensures the most viable offspring.
Perhaps you, like most of modern America, never saw extreme adversity in your cushy corner of Texas, but it may be coming. Don't be so arrogant as to think the last 20-30 years represents some new world order. You are a victim of Hollywood media brainwashing.
