Hmm... I never considered modesty on the level with non-homosexuality before. Sorta think there's a vast difference in degree of evil, don't you think? I mean, did God ever destroy a nation due to immodesty?

Vote for no indecent programming on the internet or television? Vote for outlawing fornication? Vote for making adultery a capital offense? Vote for the stoning of alcoholics and drug addicts? How far should we go with this?

That is not the reasoning to take. The reasoning is that, of all things, homosexuality brought a judgment on a kingdom.
And you never answered my question. Are we to vote YES to homosexuality?
The fact is that sometimes Christians ought to use their rights to influence a kingdom. Paul had to minister for the Lord, and was in danger of being hindered. He relied on his Roman citizenhsip to avoid that.
Act 22:24-29 KJV The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. (25) And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? (26) When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. (27) Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. (28) And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. (29) Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
We have rights, and we ought to use them for the sake of God's kingdom.
Banning homosexual marriage is not the same as banning immodesty. People can do what they want without having a law passed to marry homosexuals.
