A large percentage of the world has legal polygamy (mainly the Muslim world). A much stronger case can be made for polygamy than for same sex marriage.

Next will be a new “Gospel” proving that Jesus had two or more wives. all named Mary. At least Polygamy is Biblical!

Yes, and in each case these plural “wives” brought them grief and harmed the Kingdom of Israel and the world. Also, by the time the Lord Jesus was on earth, plural marriage was no longer recognized. It actually was never “sanctioned” by God at all....more or less tolerated at best.

The sense of Genesis 2:24 is singular. Isaac and Rebecca seemed to know it.
