This discussion is getting ridiculous now. Gay rights have very little to do with heterosexual polygamy other than at a philosophical level. Not that I'm against polygamy, or the female equivalent. I consider relationships of any kind to be the business of the involved parties, and nobody else.
However, at the risk of pissing off the frau, I'm going to break this down like Bobby Brown.

There are societies where women are dominant, but there are no societies in which women are polyamorous. The reason for that is simple biology. Every biological organsim on earth today exists because the genes that built it were successfuly passed on. This means that only organisms who raise young that achieve sexual maturity survive.

So, how does one create an organism that survives to sexual maturity? It's not by having a female choose from and breed with a large group of males. A female can only ever produce one offspring, maybe multiples in rare circumstances. It's from having one male breed with a large group of females. That makes more sense in evolutionary terms. Males that breed with many females will produce more offspring, which is exactly what males are designed to do. It's why we have hundreds of millions of gametes for every egg and why we're such competitive jerks. Females that are more choosy about which males they breed with will produce more successful offsrping. This is why females are such impossible bitches and why they have such a long list of requirements for a lifelong mate. It's the result of natural evolution.

So... this is why societies of polyamorous females don't exist. They die out because they are not efficient in a reproductive sense. Well, that's not entirely true. Unlike any other species, women actually have a built-in mechanism for concealing ovulation so they can mess with the village pool-boy while being married to the village elder. It's a by-product of these marvelous brains we were endowed with. It's also why young couples face the "is she pregnant!?" anxiety. In that way, women can be polyamorous, though they are still limited in their production of offspring.

What were we talking about, again? Oh, yeah, gay marriage and it's relation to polyamory. Female polyamory is fine with me, and I'd allow it, assuming anyone could ever make it work outside of the porn industy. It'll never beat male polymory, though, because of sheer human biological nature.
