Equal civil rights and gay marriage help to promote a stable community whereas polygamy and incest do not.
The short answer:
No. To promote stability in a community, defending a stabilizing factor such as gay marriage does not require one to also defend the unstable practices of polygamy and incest.

I think that what JR is saying is that your argument would be the same that those opposing gay marriage would have used successfully 15-25 years ago. And his point is that, based on the text of the Supreme Court ruling, you can't use the same logic now. Hence it opens up an area, that most people even in this day and age, say is unacceptable.
