Bible believing monotheists are predominately going to differ in their interpretation of Gods stance on the Gay lifestyle with you. But there are Christian identified churches who will Marry any Gay couple who desire to be married in the Church. Those Churches will not try to force other Churches who disagree with them into doing the same outside of the democratic process. Christians are urged to confront one another(other Christians) over issues of theology and if they can't agree to not continue to fellowship together. Historically ( the inquisition, the crusades, etc..) the church has acted outside of the Bibles (New Testament) golden rule "to do on to others...." methods, hence we have many denominations. As Americans we should believe that the Government will not require us to accept or endorse behavior that we will willingly tolerate as long as it does not stop us from pursuing Life Liberty or happiness. When tax dollars are used help teach our children to endorse or approve of a behavior their parents religious beliefs will only tolerate this is a violation of the established separation of Church and state. Christians have no business telling Gays what specific sins they are committing they are only told to tell the "Good News". That is that "all of us" who if we are honest know we are not perfect. And if we have ever tried, know that we can not have an honest spiritual interaction with a perfect God without admitting that we are not perfectly living inline with him. This is why Jesus said "I AM the way the truth and the the life, no one comes to the Father except though me" And a Christian is encouraged to tell other non-perfect people that we have found a way to live with our imperfections and still have interaction with God.Our only "preaching to non christians is that we believe in the God of the bible and that he, God will have his way and we believe you can be inline with him but it is your choice. We will not behead you if you refuse the gift. If there is a God, he will have his say, because all roads do lead to death/God, unfortunately he tells us that we will be judged. What an offal thing to have to judge your own Children, but if he is, he will do what is right. But we will not willingly embrace your life style. The statistics at the Center for Disease control alone tell you that male to male transmission is the overwhelmingly single biggest contributor to Aids/HIV problem in America. If we can in any way love you into changing from your lifestyle why wouldn't we. What started as "wanting to do in the privacy of our own home", has turned into legislating "what you or your kids think about me is illegal"
