In the beginning, God made them male and female, and a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

There is no example of healthy polygamy anywhere in scripture.

Still doesn't change the fact that polygyny is permitted.

We're not talking examples. We're talking Halakhah. And Halakhah permits (does not call for, does not require, but permits) a man to have as many wives as he can responsibly provide for (though the King of Israel is limited to eighteen). Furthermore the civil laws in most nations limiting a man to one wife at a time are perfectly legitimate provided they aren't erroneously attributed to G-d Himself (which would be a case of "adding to the Torah").

Either G-d's Laws are permanent and unchanging or you might as well be a liberal. To insist that polygyny is forbidden while insisting that the law against homosexuality is permanent is nothing but speciousness and hypocrisy.
