Certainly ... and IF those beliefs violate the current, LEGITIMATE law, he is willfully doing so. I wonder what scrutiny he uses for heterosexual couples to verify they have never been previously married or been sexually active?
It appears that you're stating that all of man's laws are legitimate laws. You're well aware that many Christian business owners (bakers, florists, innkeepers, photographers, etc.) have broken man's laws by refusing to cater to proud and unrepentant homosexuals in order to stay faithful to God.
Again: how can it be possible to adhere to man's laws (in these cases, cater to a homosexual wedding) and still be faithful to God?

Did you know that statement opens up a big can of worms when it comes to sexual perversion as well as other acts that from a superficial viewpoint would be considered harmless to others (suicide, recreational drug use, duels/gang warfare, etc.)?

Why Are Lesbian Teens Having Two To Seven Times As Many Babies As Their Heterosexual Peers? [and twice as many abortions)
I didn't answer because I don't see it as relevant insofar as my position. Abortion should be illegal. Comprehensive sex education should be available. There are far fewer lesbians than heterosexuals so the numbers cannot be compared.
If these lesbian teenage girls are having heterosex and getting pregnant from it, then they're not "real homosexuals" are they Sandy?
1). From a positive outlook, these girls weren't born with homosexual desires. With therapy, i.e. Christian counseling, they can turn their lives around and leave the destructive homosexual lifestyle behind and lead productive lives.
2). Since these lesbians girls are getting pregnant and aborting the babies at twice the number heterosexual teens are, if they don't get the spiritual and psychological help that they need, they'll just continue to add to the culture of death's 'body count'.
What are you thoughts on my two points above?

Then you acknowledge that there is no freedom in the deathstyle known as homosexuality?
I acknowledge that there is no freedom in denying others the right to choose the person they wish to be with based on how they feel in their heart VS their body parts. You simply do not appear to care that you are promoting a life in which homosexuals would be required to live unhappy, celibate lives.
Again: You're opening up a big can of worms with that statement Sandy.

I see that you're using the word "legal" again. Surely you're not basing your moral code/worldview on what's legal are you Sandy?
Nope ... I never have. If something is legal (such as abortion), it will never determine my view. If something is illegal (such as gay marriage), it will not determine my view. Others rights should not be based solely on religion. I don't understand what part of that is so hard for you to follow.
Can we go with your statement from earlier in the post when it comes to what you believe should be legal or illegal?
Liberty for ALL, except for actions that intentionally harm other non-consenting individuals
