I'm not really sure if this is talking about gay people in loving relationships.

Like I said before, I believe many misinterpret these Bible verses because they just don't know any better, and some do it on purpose so they can spew their hatred.

Have you seen any laws passed requiring everyone to accept adultery as normal and not a sin?
What laws are being passed that require people to accept homosexuality as normal and not a sin?

Humm, Gay marriage as being normal (and it isn't), and all the rights such as laws calling speaking what one believes about it as "hate speech" rather than just an opinion (or Biblical truth)? Special rights.

Treating gay people equally under our civil, secular marriage laws in no way forces people to accept homosexuality as normal or not sinful.

And what "hate speech" laws are you talking about???????????

So why don't you turn away from your lust for power and control, reject those teachers who have been teaching a false Jesus, and turn to the real God of love and mercy?

So if someone thinks Christianity is evil, you being legally allowed to practice it is a violation of their rights?
