Once we decide that marriage is no longer exclusively one man and one woman from birth, then the door is open to anything. Or do you discriminate against animals? Are you against polygamy?

The flaw in your reasoning has to do with consent and position of power.. Animals do not have consent in bestiality and is therefore harmful to the animal. So is pedophilia and necrophilia, incest among father and daughter, rape etc. there’s always one party hurt in the process or being disrespected. Define “door opening to almost everything”. what is the door open to? And homosexuality hasnt linearily led to legalization of other sorts of hanky pank nor does it have an affect on any other kind of relationship.
Polygamy is a whole other issue. Is it causing unhealthy boundaries, nonconsent, disrespect, jealousy in the relationship(s). if so , then it’s not moral. In the Old Testament, major characters were able to have multiple wives, kind david, solomon, abraham, isaac, etc. so it must have been condoned by God at the time. But elsewhere in the bible, the new testament talks about monogamy. The Bible can contradict itself at times.
