At least when it comes to polygamy, the "state" argue a case for proscribing them because that denies some men the equal protect of the law by removing women from the pool of mates.
Plural marriage, multiple men and women married to each other, on the other hand, does give both woman and men equal opportunity for marriage.

Polygomy and same sex marriage are two different issues as per the state. There is not a state that sancations polygomy.
The Unitarian church would be the only one (that I know of) which permits the sacrament for same sex couples across the board. As an Episcopalian I know CERTAIN Diocese in my faith allow this but other Episcopal Diocese forbid it, especially in the South.
