It's not about who they are as a person. It's not even about the behavior that stems from their sin. It's really about forcing people to violate their closely held beliefs. We don't force Muslims who own restaurants to sell alcohol because that would be against their beliefs. But somehow it's all right to force Christians to not only remain silent about sexual immorality, but to approve and participate in it by providing symbols of a commitment to a wholly sinful lifestyle. The Bible says clear that when we have a conflict between the laws of man and the laws of God, we must obey God ... even if it means being hung upside down on a cross as Peter was. I'm sure there were people in his day who thought he should just accept society's way of doing things at that time and not be concerned with obeying God. In fact Acts 5 was exactly that circumstance. "Believe anything you want, just do it our way". Peter & John replied "We would rather obey God than man."
