Marriage was instituted by God right from the time of creation. After creating Adam, God saw that it was not good the man to be alone, He decided to make a woman as a help-meet for man. Therefore the original plan of God was and is still that a matured man and a matured woman will come together as husband and wife. The idea of homosexuals/lesbians i.e. people of the same sex getting married or sleeping together as married people is a sin. Polygamists i.e. a man marrying many wives is not God’s plan for His people. This is not according to the word of God and should be discouraged.
