The civil rights argument has served the gay rights movement very well. In just the last few years they have gained ground in every arena by changing the argument from a moral one to a civil one. The trouble for us Christians is that God's laws must trump any of man's laws. The legal system has in a large part been based on the unalienable rights granted man by our Creator and have served us well. Civil rights based on color, race and religion have been necessarily emphases in recent years but just like we would not think murder, rape, or stealing to be a civil right we cannot agree with the many sexual abhorrent (according to the Bible) behaviors to be socially or legally acceptable. We may be the only group that stands up against moral corruption in our society, but if we do not stand where does it end?
Below is a link to Albert Mohler's blog where he addresses this subject in a very thoughtful way.
