Close. You're close, but you left out some important facts to that.
Yes, when our nation was founded one of our cultural values was that marriage was between one man and one woman. More specifically, one white, Christian man and one white, Christian woman. Interracial marriage wasn't even legal in a lot of places until the 1950's (with religious conservatives fighting against it on the grounds of protecting traditional marriage).
I also find it ironic that the Christian here is arguing that gay marriage will lead to incestual marriage and/or polygamy. Hey, A Theist! Mind telling me how many wives David or Solomon had? And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't one of the OT patriarchs married to his half sister? Seems to me, if you're really worried about polygamy or incest, we should be more worried about Biblical literalists than same sex marriage.

Don't be too hard on him. It's hard to learn facts when you have your head burried in the sand of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.
