but since we have rather hijacked this thread, and perhaps this is what has the phnx upset, i would say the following

it strikes me that the thread title suggests that they are saying the opposite, so perhaps i am misunderstanding here. Regardless, i think the gender-confused are clamoring for their "rights" because they have been so ill-treated, and Love is the answer, not more condemnation.
Not withstanding that imo anyone talking about their "rights" is forgetting God anyway; you have the right to defend yourself against attacks, but you cannot reflect Christ in the process.
Turn the other cheek is anathema to anyone's "rights." So it might be said that the gender-confused are demanding a legal remedy because a spiritual one--that being just treating them like humans, like you are supposed to--has been effectively denied them by society, most or many "churches" leading the way there.
Where Grace is absent, the Law will rush in, iow. You posit a Sodom/Gommorah outcome here, but i find no gender-confused seeking the "right" to molest your guests, so i think this is misplaced. However, i am about as comfortable with homo marriage as you are; so i would suggest a view more akin to "legal marriage," which has little or nothing to do with actual marriage, anyway, no matter how hard it tries. Divorce is legal, too, although it is completely against marriage in God's eyes. I'll keep my opinion on anyone who would conduct a legal marriage to myself, but i suggest some reflection here as well.
While this view would require a divorce in our allegiance to the State, and our understanding of It as somehow some sanctified ground, i think this is healthy anyway, because as uncomfortable as it is to contemplate, satan rules your country and always has, and it is only your nation, or people, that matters to God.
All of these kingdoms you SEE before You are mine, to do with as i will.
