Is it up from homophobia or down to Sodom? There is a difference between love for your sodomite friends and acceptance of their sinful expressions of sexuality. There is a difference in our personal responsibilities toward men and establishing a destructive national policy. The Sermon on the Mount applies to individual men in the kingdom of God, not to nations of men.

Are you advocating that the state continue its disregard for the Law of Nature and Nature’s God? The sanctity of life has been breeched in the acceptance of abortion. The sanctity of marriage has been breeched in the ‘no fault’ divorce. The advocates of sodomite marriage would remove the institution of marriage from its Christian roots…
But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’, so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. [Jesus Christ on marriage and divorce from Mark 10 quoting Genesis 1:27 and 2:24]
Governments are instituted among men to secure their God given rights. These words are commentary on Romans 13. Rights are defined by our duty to obey the moral Law of God or what the American Founders called the Natural Law of Conscience common to all men. Any government that circumvents the Natural Law by condoning practices contrary to morality has lost its authority as a lawful civil magistrate. This is the road down to Sodom.
What was written of Sodom was written for our instruction. God is not mocked by men who glory in their acceptance of what is condemned by the moral law of God.
