Your god allowed many OT characters to have multiple wives, in fact, he endorsed it.
Exodus 21:10 gives the rules for taking another wife. In 2 Samuel 12:7–9, your god even said that he would've given David more wives if the ones he had weren't enough.
I can go on, but would be flooding this post. There is no question that your god approved of polygamy.
You need to check those again. The 2 Samuel passage is not talking specifically about more wives. Remember, when God allowed divorce, it was because the people were hard-headed.
Regardless, gay marriage is NOT part of God’s plan for humanity.

It is actually the hatred of homosexuality that has been the downfall of some businesses. It seems disingenuous to an extreme to blame the actions of a bigoted business owner on the people they were trying to discriminate against. It is like saying the Civil War was caused by a bunch of uppity slaves unwilling to live with the status quo.
The only hatred has been against the business owners who received disgusting death threats from the pro-gay crowd. So tolerant and loving huh? If the owners truly hated them then they would not have sold them anything. They just don't want to get dragged into the sinful world of gay marriage which is a mockery of something beautiful created by God.

Who are you to judge, what is beautiful coming from the heart of another?
these people are the epitome of what Paul writes about in Romans 1:
"for since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
for this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."
You need to check those again. The 2 Samuel passage is not talking specifically about more wives. Remember, when God allowed divorce, it was because the people were hard-headed.

They hardened their hearts, but he doesn't have a problem giving you a new heart of flesh.

Once again you totally dismiss the death threats against the lesbians wishing to buy a wedding g cake at the same bakery that sold her mother a wedding cake a year earlier? The same bakers that posted the story in Facebook in the first place and created the first threats because of that? The same bakery that was fined big time not because of not selling a wedding cake to two lesbians but the actions the bakers took on social media? The same story that you keep bringing up and keep getting the facts wrong and refuse to believe even the actual court documents?
Doesn't the Bible make clearer on giving false testimony upon others than it does about same sex marriage? How are death threats against gays not hateful? Or more importantly death threats are only bad if they are against those you agree with and not important if directed against folks you don't agree with.
