“An other example. They equate polygamy with gay marriage, so what they are doing is calling many of our Christian founders queers.”

Will you please point out which Christian Founders had multiple wives?

Jesus?
The 12 Apostles?
The replacement Apostle that took the place of Judas?
Paul?
Nope.

Well, that covers the foundation of the Church.

Any 1st generation Church Fathers have multiple wives?
None I know of... can you provide some names?

Any Popes?
Nope.

Luther?
Calvin?
Zwingli?
Nope.

Founders of Methodists?
Founders of Baptists?
Founders of Presbyterians?
Founders of Anglicans?
Nope.

You simply have to do better. There are not “many Christian Founders” who were polygamous. If there were some hidden there that fits your definition of “many”, please list them and educate me. Obviously, I must need it.

I will add that opposing “gay marriage” is based on changing the definition from one man and one woman who are not closely related to anything less.

To change the definition of marriage to two of anything, opens the door to polygamy, polyandry, bestiality, assorted groups, etc. No one is calling anyone else gay. They are opposing changing the definition of marriage from God’s definition - and here you should refer to creation and Christ’s reaffirmation of that definition in Genesis - to everything less than that.
