Your first sentence is correct. Your second sentence, however, does not take into account that the Mormons who practice polygamy are very very old school, not modern Mormons, and very rare.
I would phrase inquiries more along the lines of "Is it standard practice of the Mormon church to knowingly deceive people to try to get them not to sin?"
ie, along the lines of taking away the free will that G-d gave us, by lying.
(Also I might ask about the other cleanliness laws; so far as I know, the reasons Christians can eat pork is because when Jesus came the first time 'round he said "all those cleanliness laws in Leviticus? Forget 'em!" and I wonder if the homosexuality thing is one of those.)
