You make the spurious assumption that gay people "choose" to be gay.
Some gay people choose the heterosexual lifestyle.
A law is opressive if it denies equal rights to all citizens. As Christians, we must speak truth to power, and thus when systemic injustice exists, opression is implied.
Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it a non-answer.

1. There is no solid evidence that people are “born gay”. Psychologists and biologists are not sure why some people seem to have leanings towards members of the same sex. They have theories but none of those theories has gained wide spread acceptance. So it is wrong to say that, or to imply that, homosexuals don’t choose homosexuality. They may not choose their temptations but they choose how they respond. Like the fornicator, homosexuals make the choice to take their clothes off and hop in bed with a member of the same sex. They make that choice and it is that choice which will condemn them to eternal hell fire. Biology does not determine morality. If it did then fornication would not be a sin.
2. Homosexuals do not need Christians to be their defenders. Homosexuals need Christians to be their warning signs. We should be warning them about the fact that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God (1Cor 6:9-10). We should be warning them about the fact that God calls homosexuality an abomination (Lev 18:22). We should be warning them about the fact that God calls homosexuality “degrading”, “unnatural”, indecent”, and that those who practice it are worthy of spiritual death (Rom 1:26-27,32). We should be warning them that, unless they repent and turn to Christ in faith, their eternal fate will be the lake of fire (Rev 21:8,27).
What did God say to the prophet Ezekiel about being a watchman for the house of Israel?
“When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you will surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from h is way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand” –Ez 33:8 (see 33:7-11).
If you, or anyone else, are not warning the homosexuals you know about their need of repentance then you will be judged by God for not doing so. They will die in their sin, perish in hell, and probably curse you for not warning them.
God will hold us accountable. Not for other peoples choices but for our failure to do what we are told to do. We are told to preach repentance from sin to all the nations (Lk 24:46-47). That includes homosexuals. If we pick up the cause of homosexuals, to defend them, then we are guilty of the crime of helping them into the lake of fire.
Certainly we should stand up against people who mistreat any human. However we should not take up the political cause of those who are living in abominations. We can, and should, protect all people we can from violence. But we as Christians dare not take up the cause of sin. -
So if I think that the State isn't God, and should treat people fairly, I'm going to Hell?
Thanks, Martin, you're typical.

It is unfortunate that some liberal Christians simply refuse to recognize the Word of God for the truth that it is. It just doesn't fit their worldview and God never intended it to.
Another poster on BB suggested not too long ago that there was no such thing as a "liberal Christian". I have never bellieved that, but the more I talk about scripture and the application of it to our daily lives with some of them, the more I am leaning toward the same opinion.
God help us.:praying: We all need His strength all the time, not just when it fits our view. -

Two different things. -
Well, since anything I may say to Marin to refute his "points" may be construed as "supporting or condoning homosexuality," my hands are tied.
When everyone gets their head out of the sand and can understand the difference between Church and State,
perhaps I'll be able to communicate further in this. -
It's all a moot point, however, since it doesn't exist in the first place... except in the minds of those who support the sin of homosexuality. -
