That would be oppression. Oh, and your insistence that secular law comply with your religious law and forbid them from getting married would, too.

Who in the hell do you think you are to change someone's lifestyle?????

Really?

Homosexuals have been murdered, raped, subject to horrid medical tests, and treatments, imprisoned, forced to live a lie, called every name in the book... By Christians.

If that isn't oppression, I don't know what is.

Besides it is not your place to try to change ANYTHING about another person, that is not harming anyone else, without their permission.

Who do you think you are to try to tell me how I have to live my life?

You can't legislate morality now.
Prohibition was used to legislate morality, it didn't work.
The war on drugs is used to legislate morality, it does not work.
Laws against abortion were used to legislate morality, they didn't work.

We can only make laws to punish those that harm others, it won't change their morality.

Really??

Murders are at all time lows. As is all violent crime. As is non-violent crime. STD infections are at or near all time lows. Teenage pregnancy is at an all time low. Dropout rates are all time lows.

Tell me again how society is going to hell in a handbasket?
