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.

You bring up "consent and position of power." I agree, but when it comes to LGBTQ marriage, I never have heard this, rather only "love" is cited as the sole defining issue.

Regarding "morality," there is a whole array of diverse standards, which create endless conflicts. This is why I believe only God's standard of morality is valid and universal, i.e. one man and one woman constitute a marriage.
