I think there's a huge difference between governments that persecute, prosecute, tolerate, and sanction homosexuality.
We should absolutely be against the sanction of homosexuality. I definitely agree that people cannot be coerced by government into following Jesus... but at the same time, you don't want the government sanctioning homosexual behavior, and creating homosexual institutions. This has led, and will only lead to persecution of Christians. It's happened already, with the gay-wedding-cake fiasco. If I was a cake-maker, I would also feel obliged not to give provisions for a gay-ceremony: but if you don't, they want to take away your cake-making license... they are trying to coerce people into gay-acceptance: that's religious persecution.
So, absolutely not- why would we set ourselves up to be persecuted? All because we wanted to sound tolerant: but America has gone past tolerance, and into acceptance and embracing something it should not.
The language of tolerance in the 90's was acceptable. There was "hate" against gay people, and that needed to be tempered. Hate is obviously not the way of the church: but what we are seeing today has gone too far- you don't hate gay people... but you certainly don't embrace the sin either. That's not acceptable.
And if you really think about it, when we had policies like "don't ask, don't tell", and laws against homosexual behavior; the only time those people could be prosecuted is when they took their sexual exploits public. Even in the bible days- to be stoned to death, you had to be caught in the act by more than one witness. Maybe gay people can restrain themselves from having gay-sex in front of 2 or 3 other people...
