No, I don't think it that's the bedrock of the argument. Gay marriage supporters argue that marriage is a spiritual and legal commitment between two people who love each other.
Making polygamy legal would get really complicated. It could not be just one man or woman marrying two or more men and women. The spouses would all have to consent to be married to each other, and each spouse would have the right to bring other spouses into the fold. If someone wanted out, they would have to divorce everybody. Everyone would have rights to claim each others' property, alimony, palimony, and custody of each others' children.
