I’m not, for this thread, discussing if homosexuality ought to be illegal. Should someone who believes homosexuality is evil and repulsive in God’s eyes be forced to celebrate homosexuality in his public life?
Can we only condemn sin as sin in private homes and churches, or can we act on our beliefs in the public sphere?
And remember - the pro-choice folks completely reject your belief that “Abortion is murder”. They liken it to removing a tumor. In fact, from a religious viewpoint, the Bible condemns homosexuality in strong terms and is largely silent on abortion.
Please notice I am NOT in any way supporting abortion. But from a religious freedom viewpoint, the religious argument against homosexuality is more explicit in the Bible, along with some other religions.
1) the private acts of consenting adults
versus
2) the public sanctioning and support of such acts.
What has happened is sodomites have fought for the first right but have also seemed to have successfully confused the first item with the second item, calling the second item a "right" (which it is not), and labelled it "gay rights", an oxymoron. Since it is a states' issue, not a legitimate federal issue, it is up to the people of each state to decide on these matters. But IMO, the first item is unjustly made illegal and the second item is unjustly made legal.
Abortion, on the other hand is murder regardless of what the perps call it. It is taking the life of another and should be illegal. But again, it is a state's issue so it's up to the people of each state to decide. In the case of abortion, the feds have illegally and unconstitutionally interfered with state laws that almost universally banned abortion.
(Federal law, BTW, in any of these social issues are invalid per se because they are unconstitutional, outside the bounds of constitutional delegation of power to the federal government.)
