Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?
On June 26, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses violated the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling made same sex marriage legal in all 50 U.S. States.

What the LGBT community needs to do is get over themselves and stop playing victim. I know people who are victimized by the LGBT community on a daily basis. I doubt anybody gives a hoot if the guy across the street is doing the other guy. You have your own church and religion that approve of your same sex marriage so you the LGBT community should stop and try to force your views and homosexuality on people who do not agree.

“the LGBT community should stop and try to force your views and homosexuality on people who do not agree.”
Although you stated that LGBTQ+ people shove their sexuality on other people, I find it to be quite the opposite. Some people call their kids a "lady killer" and to "keep them away from all the ladies/men" basically forcing the image that they are straight. Although when it's in terms of the kid liking the same gender, the kid is "too young to know what they like". Some cishet Christians also say that LGBTQ+ people are going to hell if they don't convert and repent their "sin" of being gay.

Well, being gay is a sin.
Leviticus 18:22 ESV: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

It's important to remember that the Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted in various ways throughout history. Leviticus also mentions other rules, such as not wearing clothing made of two different fabrics or not eating shellfish, which many people do not follow today. We must consider the historical context in which these texts were written and recognize that our understanding of morality and human rights has evolved over time. Should we not prioritize love, acceptance, and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how we can reconcile religious beliefs with the need for equal rights for all individuals, including those in same-sex relationships.
@WhatisaWoman?2yrs2Y
There is a difference between "don't eat shellfish" and "don't have sex with another man." One was a rule meant to distinguish Israel from other cultures. The other is a rule that still applies today. Marriage is specifically between a man and a woman. Also, love is important, yes, but the type of love that is biblical is wanting what is best for others, and not just accepting everyone. Also, saying a man cannot marry another man is equality. After all, we are not letting straight people marry the same sex. The rule applies for everyone.

If the straight people are marrying for sex and its consensual and both partners are happy there's no problem with that.
