And now a few words from the ACLU apologist:

Except, of course, that we aren't changing laws to permit anything in OUR bedrooms by changing laws that attempt to dictate to consenting adults what they do in THEIRS.
Ah yes, the "Christian principle" of "do your own thing, as long as it's consensual". I forgot, sorry.

Your television tells you what to watch? And streets? What, a parade?
Selwyn Duke had you in mind when he wrote this article entitled:
"Why Many American Christians Really are Un-Christian":
"Let us be blunt: It is simply not possible to espouse relativism — which holds that right and wrong are opinion — and be a true Christian.
Why? It’s simple: Jesus did not die for our opinions. Jesus did not say that His blood was the blood of the new and everlasting covenant and that it would be shed for you and for all so that opinions may be forgiven; He did not say, I am a way, a truth, and a life; He did not say, let he who is without opinion cast the first stone; He did not say to that dark tempter, “It is said, ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God,’” but, hey, Satan, whatever works for you.
There are many doctrinal differences among the denominations, and good people could debate them ad nauseam and still not settle every one.
Yet, if anything is central to Christianity, it’s the belief that Truth is spelled with a capital “T,” that it is absolute, universal and eternal."

America will reap what it sows if we allow immoral behavior to go unchallenged.
Were that the case we'd have plunged into the sea generations ago. Slavery didn't end us. Abortion hasn't ended us. Allowing adults to make their own moral distinctions among each other in matters that aren't our business to begin with won't either.
I'll tell you the same thing that I told a bunch of "proud" sodomites when they mocked me (and God, because I had used Scripture as part of my argument) after "winning" a State Referendum giving sexual deviants special rights:
"If you think that you can "beat" God, you're bigger fools than I gave you credit for."
"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God":
If we as a society continue to mock God's Word, His "wrath" will continue to grow.
