"Where God has created a right man and a right woman for every soul life imputed by God,..."
Almost as if you copy-pasted it out of Plato's Symposium. Greek mithology at its best.

Of course a christian might have a hard time defending the statement above.

"As they mature in their degenerate behavior, they naturally reject anything righteous and just, and will further degenerate into attacking other institutions established by God."
This particular statements is wrong in so many ways... Imagine what people would do if the statement above was targeted at christians instead of gays.

"They will attack national governance, family, and even the free will of their fellow man."

Do you even know what the religious meaning of free will is? Free will is a permission of god for men to live their lives as they see fit (judgement is supposed to come later).
Not allowing gay marriage is an attack on free will :D want to go against the word of god?

"Conversely, legalizing and encouraging its promotion will result in loss of national, familial, marital and individual freedoms."

Still so sure of that? I'd say it's vice versa... limiting freedoms is like a snowball going down the hill, good if you want to build a big snowman that won't melt till the spring, but bad if you're living at the base of the hill when the landslide hits.

You seem to be having a difficult time coming to grips with the fact that some people do not like gay guys/gals.

This one ranks right up there with the all time worse.

God's judgement comes later, Caesar's is a bit more contemporary. In America we are free to worship the Lord, not so free to break the laws of man. Marriage in America is licensed, that licensing is done by the states, as it should be. The laws regarding licensing are passed by legislators elected by their constitutents. Every law, yes every law, has a moral component and liberty interests that are not defined as fundamental rights either by tradition of explicit constitutional language are the province of the people of those states.

Comprende'?

Freedom is a consequence of responsible behavior. Legalizing irresponsible behavior will only limit freedom.

e.g. one could use your argument to argue in favor of murder based upon the limitation of the murderer's freedom would start a snowball rolling downhill.

Quite the opposite occurs whenever immoral activity is condoned.

This doesn't imply national government as a panacea for fellowship with God, rather it is respect for legitimate authority as established by a divine institution for believer and unbeliever alike.

Only of a minority. To ALLOW GM denies the the OTHER folks of free will!

No... it's what seperates a civilization from an anarchy:

Judges 21:25
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.
