Homosexual acts break GOD's law, we're only breaking a human law that itself violates God's law.
Whether or not it breaks God's law is up to God and acting homosexuals should only be answerable to God, not to you and bakers. Breaking human laws makes you answerable to humans and God, since the President that signed that law was put into place by God.
I'm quite aware that you suffer from all this, but that doesn't make you right about the legal situation.
My suffering doesn't, the Constitition dictates that I'm right about the legal situation.
I grant that you are in a very difficult position. I don't know what the solution is, but punishing God isn't going to help you in the end.
I'm not punishing God. I *can't* punish God. God may punish me, but that's business between me and Him and is absolutely nothing to do with you. Your judgement on this matter is irrelevant. For God does not show favouritism.
It costs a lot for a homosexual to convert to Christ, and that is the only solution I know of for your dilemma.
I'm not a homosexual and I married a woman, so I guess I'm a little more safe, eh?
Otherwise once you have legal power you can punish us to a pulp, maybe mitigate some of your suffering that way, but God's people are not going to go away.
The demographics disagree. Most people that agree with you are your age, and becoming less and less relevant to the legislature who are increasingly rejecting your perspective. The young 'ens are leaving the faith entirely in droves, and those that stay are increasingly rejecting the 'homosexuals should be treated poorly' gospel.
This is a supernatural thing and the more Christians suffer in the world the more the tribe grows.
I guess God's power is failing then.
Or maybe the Rapture will occur soon and we'll be out of your life for good anyway.
*fingers crossed*
I found out recently that homosexual acts are the only sin described in the Old Testament books of the Law that are called "abominations." Not heterosexual adultery, not murder, none of the others, even sins punishable by death.
You found recently? Presumably someone told you, rather than you know, reading the damned thing.

Isa 1, KJV
So yeah.
Not heterosexual adultery,
Lechery and lust is an abomination. Lying with your neighbours wife is an abomination. Try again.
not murder
Unless murder is NOT WICKED, you are wrong again.
That's a very severe judgment.
As severe as it is for bringing a lobster to church, fraud, lying, lust, laziness....
Otherwise the term "abomination" is usually reserved for idolatries that involve demons.
Wrong.
It makes me wonder if there is a demonic element in homosexuality.
I wonder if there is a demonic element to your ignoring God's word and promulgating lies about it. Oh wait, that's an abomination too. Welcome to the club, Faith.
Some elements in the LGBT arena involve feelings that amount to obsessions, like that feeling of HAVING to cross-dress to get relief from some kind of psychgological pressure.
Like lecherously grabbing women by the pussy, or lying about lecherously grabbing women by the pussy.
You can believe what you like, but when you insist that because there is a 'demon influence' in my clothing preferences I should be refused a drink by a bartender, lifesaving intervention from a doctor.....then your wickedness is harming me and you are being a bully and persecuting me.
If I retaliate by asking a duly elected or appointed official to determine how this damage can be compensated financially, I am not persecuting you. Indeed if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
Or whinge and complain and claim martyrdom and persecution for your wicked acts and your victimising others. Whatever floats your boat.
