Polygamy. It's as certain to come up in the comments of a conservative blog on gay marriage as "why not get the state out of the marriage business altogether?" is on a pro-gay-marriage thread. Depending on the thrust, it may tie into issues of women's rights, child marriage, importation of Islamist customs, concerns about the FLDS and other Mormon offshoots, or (rarely) polyamory, but polygamy will always, always be mentioned as the next thing that will happen if same-sex marriage is allowed.
