Has he ever said anything against gays? Being opposed to gay marriage is not the same as being opposed to gays.

Yes it is. Lets not make useless differences here, it is. To think there isn't is somehow thinking someone having fewer rights than you do is still legally equal to you.

Does being against polygamist marriages make you against polygamists?

It depends on what you consider the goal of marriage, or what the rights specifically are. Seems to me there are lots of people who can't marry, for example children. Why do they have "fewer rights"?
