Our government has abandoned all standards of moral conduct. Having done so, how would you expect them to behave? Even nature testifies to the depravity of homosexuality. Our society as sunken below the level of ignorant animals; And God gives the the freedom to make that choice. God does not force choices on us but he is very clear that the choices we make will have forced consequences.
If we have two common citizens in a secular state -- a straight Christian and a gay non-Christian -- it is not the place of either to dictate for the other how they must live their own, personal lives. Each of those people live under the promise of personal liberty and individual freedom, so long as each of those people's actions do not cause any violation of rights upon the other person.
So, for instance, in secular countries, people have the freedom of practicing religion, and that freedom extends only insofar as it does not abridge another person's freedom to practice no religion. So, you could open a non-profit church tomorrow, and because of that church's status -- by virtue of its legal standing as regards its separateness from state -- you could refuse gay people entry and you could also refuse gay people a marriage. The reason you're allowed to do this is because you own the religious organization (the church) and that church's very purpose is to further the precedents of the Holy Bible, one of which is the teaching: homosexuality is a sin and marriage is between a man and a woman.
However, the state is not a church, and a judge or lawyer (an agent of state) is not a pastor or priest (an agent of church). Therefore, it is not legal for you to be able to command the state to exclude gay people or refuse gay unions, because there is no fundamental secular principle upon which you can justify such a command -- the governmental body is separate from the churches and as such does not base its precedents upon biblical codes, but rather upon the right of all its citizens to be equal in the eyes of the law, as well as the right of each to utilize autonomy, personal freedom, and individual liberty within the self regulatory boundaries of those rights; functionally, those rights prevent infringement on the rights of others.
Therefore it is legally acceptable for a person to be gay and non-Christian, just as it is legally acceptable for a person to be straight and Christian: both are valid personal lifestyle choices in the eyes of the law.
