What God does with him is God’s decision. He had a right to be left alone by the state.

If the nation is a heathen nation that will be the case.

But in a Christian nation the civil law will be founded upon God's truth. The abominable sin of homosexuality would not be legal any more than theft or murder would be.

What the man did privately the civil magistrate would not know about.

This is how, until relatively recently, American law was fashioned. Sodomy was illegal, so sodomites had to refrain from publicly acknowledging their wicked acts, and keep them a secret. Even if people suspected they were doing such things based on their manner, etc., that is not evidence for a court of law, so nothing was done, nor could be nor should be done, any more than someone could be convicted of theft in a court based on hearsay or suspicions alone.

Since American law is founded on a secular humanist document, the Constition (which is against Christ since it mentions him only in the documents date), our government continued to turn against God and decriminalized homosexuality starting in the 1960's-70's. This paved the way for the morass of immorality in today's society.

A Christian nation... be careful what you mean there.

The church erred by attempting to take a country under its control. The horror stories that non Christians have about Christians are chiefly based in that error.

Certain overt acts can be banned, e.g. buggery. However, they cannot “force a person to not be gay.” And if this is attempted under the guise of a state church it is especially sad because the power of God has already been made subservient to the state. This is not the free gospel that breaks every chain.
