Do you REALLY want to go down the Old Testament path for your argument? Because while homosexuality was BANNED by the law, polygamy was not. AND GOD granted King David 6 wives as a blessing.

That is not biblical, chapter and verse please.....of where God "blesses" polygamy. Here is a few for you to chew on:

From the very beginning God created one woman for one man (see Genesis 1:27 2:21-25).

Deuteronomy 17:17 explicitly instructed the king not to “multiply wives.”

Moses’ law said, the king “shall not multiply horses to himself… Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold” (Deuteronomy 17:16-17).
