All are equally in violation of God's law, but homosexuals are demanding government legitimization of their unions which would put the nation in complicit sin with them
​
In a secular democracy governmental legitimization does not equate to Christian legitimization. You seem to forget that.

So you expect a secular government to enact law for religious reasons in order to avoid "national sin"?

"Marriage" is just a word. Meanings change all the time.
​
Word > Original Meaning
​
awful > deserving of awe
brave > cowardice (as in bravado)
counterfeit > legitimate copy
girl > young person of either sex
guess > take aim
knight > boy
luxury > sinful self indulgence
neck > parcel of land (as in neck of the woods)
notorious > famous
nuisance > injury, harm
quick > alive (as in quicksilver)
sophisticated > corrupted
tell > to count (as in bank teller)
truant > beggar

Do you really think I could have meant just some vacant equation of words when I said marriage will lose its meaning?
​
Marriage means a legal union between two persons. Most dictionaries now include gay marriage in this definition.
​
As we can see, meanings change.
​
As do traditions.

No one cares what they think as long as they are not allowed to express it publicly. We could remove all the temples, mosques, and gay bars. We could make illegal any expression favorable to those anti-God ideas.
Perhaps we could even recruit ordinary citizens to help police this problem by teaching in our public schools techniques for recogizing the tell-tale signs of secret offenders.
​
Switch "mosques" for "churches" and you have Saudi Arabia.
