1) Most research points to a large portion of homosexual orientation being genetic (inborn). 2) Polygamy (and polygamists) refers to a type of marriage – which in some non-Western cultures is still the normative behavior. 3) The disdain you may be perceiving over ‘polygamists’ vs. gays is probably backlash for the hypocrisy shown by the Mormon church – which winks and nods at polygamy in its own ranks and history, yet spends millions of dollars backing anti-same-sex marriage initiatives (Hawaii, California, etc.). 4) Not to make too fine a point about ‘inborn’ behaviors, but religion is a chosen behavior, not a genetic trait. It is, however, a behavior that benefits from many ‘special rights’ granted in law. Unfortunately, that special status has led many to believe that these special rights also include discrimination of gays and lesbians with impunity, or worse, the right to harass, beat and even kill as an extension of their ‘god’s will.’
