Someone who embraces homosexual marriage is someone who hates the Bible and God's word and denies Truth. By embracing such behavior, you are mocking people who believe in the Bible and God....
I disagree. Disbelief is not 1:1 with hate or denial. People may embrace homosexual marriage for any number of reasons that are not hatred and denial. Ignorance, pride, confusion, miseducation, and sincere disagreement are all plausible reasons to not toe the line against gay marriage. On a day-to-day basis I'm more likely to deal with any of those other motivations for pushing gay marriage than hatred and mocking. This is not to say that hatred and mocking don't occur - but they are not the only motivations possible.
If we ascribe the wrong motivations to our opposition then we have misunderstood them. If we have misunderstood them it becomes more difficult when we try to offergentle correction and sound Gospel messages.

I think it applies to all the gay activists.... the ones who are trying to force their values and thinking on religious communities and forcing the redefinition of the family -which goes against Nature’s Law, and therefore the Constitution. Their paradigm is trying to make mothers and fathers irrelevant—to deny nature— which is a tremendous evil to all children and all societies.
