How should the Church respond? or should it?

As a Christian, what effect do you think such laws make in how you relate to "married" gays?

What concerns do you have in your own country in this matter?

When homosexuality is legalized it becomes a problem for that society. Just like other sins that have been legalized. It becomes a problem for those who hold positions of employment where they are forced to accept values that they find abominable. If the Church compromises it's message to suit the values of those who are willfully involved in sin it ceases to be a faithful church.

We all know that same sex relationships are condemned in the Bible but so are abortions and prostitution. Which some countries wink at as well. The Church must remain uncompromising and call sin "SIN" and not just use words like "lifestyle choices" or "personal preferrences." The Church must proclaim what the Bible teaches!

I look at gays the same way I look at any other depraved person who is bound in a sinful lifesyle. Someone who needs to know about the consequences of sin and the coming of Jesus Christ. I think there are ways for the church to get the message out without becoming just another political action committee. Thank God for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
