"If we have same-sex marriage today, we'll have incest and polygamy tomorrow" Good

Sometimes I wonder at the people in this nation, left and right, who seem to lose considerable sleep thinking about the possibility that other consenting adults might be engaging in sexual behaviors that they do not approve of. I think about how they seem to lay petrified in their bed, looking concerned at their lover as this thought dominates their mind "How can I love you if I can't enforce our exact sexual behaviors on a nation of 300 million through force of law?".
We see this again and again in our society. There appears to be an overwhelming and to me frankly bizarre desire of many people to micromanage the intimate relations of others. I understand in a way where they are coming from. They are disgusted by the idea that someone could be engaging in anal, incest, a relationship with multiple partners, bondage or a myriad of sexual behaviors that aren't sex in the missionary position for the purpose of procreation. That point seems beyond denial, this desire is driven by disgust at the thought of the action. It is simply an urge to crush that which they do not like and enforce their standards on others.
They have their alternative explanations. They say it is for good of society (where they got permission to engage is social engineering related to the sex lives of others still alludes me). They claim it violates some sort of natural law as they wear clothing, eat processed foods and zoom around in the sky in planes at speeds factors of 100 higher than any human was "evolved" to travel.
In comes down to this, consenting adults can form any kind of relationship they want to. You may find it disgusting or unnatural, but it isn't about you. It was never about you. You have zero right to ever dictates the terms of two consenting adults sexual behaviors. You do not have a right to engage in social engineering. My sex life is sovereign territory over which I demand exclusive domain. Until I directly, physically and without consent interfere with the domain of another's body, your opinion simply does not matter.
I'm gay myself, but I think gay rights is a merely part of a larger struggle against the sexual tyranny that has existed in most human societies. I like and predict that it will be part of the spear tip that will finally and blessedly slaughters this terrible beast.
My body, my rules.
This is a lesson both the left and the right could do well to learn.

...incest now? 
...are the "Master of your Domain."
But seriously, good stuff, and completely right on.
There was that state legislator from Montana the other day who wanted to outlaw yoga pants and nipples, and it just made me think that these people really are simply sex-obsessed, troubled minds with nobody who loves them and nothing to give meaning to their shallow, boring lives. It would be sad and nothing else, if the rest of us didn't have to deal with so many of these idiots, and their authoritarianism.
And for the record, I spent many years in a polyamorous hippie commune, where I had 8 "wives" and shared them with 6 other "husbands." So I feel like I have a dog in this fight, even though at the moment, I'm happily monogamously heterosexually married, and intend to stay that way. It's nobody's business but my own...
