Matthew 5:17-18 King James Version (KJV)It's the damned purity tests that kill chances of winning. Gay "marriage" and people's past are the two pieces creating a chasm between the Evangelical base and winning. Unless someone dies with a picture of Reagan on their chest they aren't good enough. If the right candidate was gay they "can't be Christians."
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
No matter how much you want gays to be able to join the 'Christian Club', they can't because they won't follow the 'bylaws'
For the record, I have no desire to exclude gays from enjoying any aspect of society. I know quite a few gays in social circles and it just isn't a factor. I don't, however, need to know anything about what goes on behind those closed doors nor do I like being pressured to give approbation to the lifestyle choices they have made. Disapproval of one's choices in life =/= discrimination. I don't believe they needed to be married in a 'church' for any other reason than they wanted to, and the state's involvement in the recognition and administration of marriage opened the door, analogous to if there were a small group of Catholics who wanted everything changed to accommodate a desire be freemasons
All trans people have demonstrated to me is that they are profoundly unstable individuals who tend to react violently to those who won't join them in their delusions that they can be something they are not and that society as a whole must be forced to recognize such. I must say, I do not know any trans people socially and even the gays I know seem to want to keep distance between themselves and the trans minority. I find it a dangerous conceit that society as a whole's failure to affirm their dementia leads to greater rates of suicide and/or risky lifestyle choices and thus we are somehow killing them. Non sequitur, they are killing themselves - and suicide and especially the threat of same is usually a strategy to attempt to control the behavior of others via emotional blackmail
