Here's one for the religious right: Where polygamy is legal Homosexuality is most criminalized.
Below is a world map showing the legal status of Polygamy. Light blue is illegal and criminal to practice polygamy. Dark blue is legal and widely practiced.
Below is a map of gay rights status by country. The shades of blue have some form of gay marriage/domestic partnership legal recognition. The yellows/oranges/light and dark reds just being gay is outlawed and criminalized, with some even having the death penalty.
So, what's that conservative argument that gay marriage will lead to polygamy again? Seems just the opposite is the fact when you look at it on the world scale...

But in the "West", heterosexual de facto polygamy is legal as long as it's not called marriage.
