While I don't necessarily disagree with the position that some of these people take, I do question the focus on finding political and social solutions for people who's need is largely spiritual.
What does it matter if same-sex marriages are forbidden if the gospel is not preached? A belief and trust in Jesus as the Christ leads to love and adoration, out of which come a desire for obedience and subservience. What profit is "obedience" without love, faith, and trust in Him?
While I believe that Christianity is not always publicly portrayed in the most favorable light (another topic for another time), we Christians would do well to be mindful of concentrating on the flaws of others instead of our own needs and shortcomings.
"He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
Luke 18:9-14
Perhaps we can find a way to be less trusting in our own righteousness, look on others with compassion instead of contempt, and above all be humble.
