Why not be happy with civil unions? Why not let marriage be what it is and has been...between a man and a woman? Why do you even want to be a part of that? Get your civil rights via civil union. If being gay is an alternative lifestyle, why is the traditional marriage so important?
Oh, and about that rampant homosexuality so normalized and pervasive at the height of the Roman empire...what happened to that empire next? Hmmm....

Your point is well made, this is not about the state, this is about faith and following GOD's commands. Homosexuality is a sin just like all other sins of man. All sin can be forgiven.
As a Christian, you should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same you would any other person in sin. The homosexual is still made in the image of God -- even though he is in grave sin. Therefore, you should show him same dignity as anyone else you come in contact with. However, this does not mean that you are to approve of their sin.
Don't compromise your witness for a socially acceptable opinion that is void of godliness.
Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible. It goes against the created order of God. He created Adam and then made a woman. This is what God has ordained and it is what is right. Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18ff). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.
Did you see the number of states on that map and their color indicating support for this immoral behavior against the created order of God.
I love this country but I see signs that tell me we are falling faster and faster in to a wicked and immoral state.
Pray that we don't succumb to the evil one.
