This event was bound to happen sooner or later. No nation can escape falling into darkness. Evil exploits the laws for their own uses but in the end their efforts are futile. God will return and rule with an iron scepter. His judgment will be swift and merciful but also firm and harsh and not lacking in any sense of justice. I love my nation but my loyalty is to God the eternal. Despite or inevitable fate of all nations of this world I accept his judgment and welcome the new world he envisions. Yet be forwarded you all, what is to happen next will only get worse and worse before his return. This step towards Hell’s fire is only one of many steps that must be taken. Thus be forwarded to be on your guard. Followers and Churches alike will be persecuted to the maximum extent. It will start small at first but it will grow like wild fire. First the events will be small, a few churches refuse service to house gay marriage. On both fronts the battle will rage in the court rooms and many loses will happen. Next comments large or small will be viewed as hate crimes and many will go to jail to speaking freely about their points of view. It will then that the county and world alike will start to truly question if followers of God should be allowed to believe at all. Step by step life will hammer at our shield. When they realize that it will not shatter they shall simply avoid the shield and go straight for the wielders. From persecution to jail, to concentration camps to death and worse many lives will be lost that will yield onto millions. Then when it becomes too much God shall step in and rise once more.

I don't feel one way or the other about this. And perhaps that isn't a good stance and does not make me a strong believer. God detests sin, and as a believer, shouldn't I detest what God detests? On the other hand... I have been a sinner. I still sin. I repent, and hope God forgives me.
As ChibiHigh stated, we should all be expecting of this to happen given the state of things.
There are also contributing factors, on a chemical level, that are contributing factors to sexuality. Bare with me with an open mind while I try to explain my train of thoughts on this... And hopefully you will see the "web", as I call it.
Prevalence of polycystic ovaries and polycystic ovary syndrome in lesbian women compared with heterosexual women.
There is a significantly higher prevalence of PCO and PCOS in lesbian compared with heterosexual women. Lesbian women with either PCO or PCOS had more pronounced hyperandrogenism than did heterosexual women with either PCO or PCOS.
So... Why does this matter in relation to sexuality? For those of you who aren't familiar with PCOS, it is a female endocrine disorder. Bottom line is that it really impacts your hormones.
Quote: High levels of LH cause your body to produce too much estrogen and androgens (male hormones) - testosterone and DHEAS (dihydroepiandrosterone sulfate). High levels of estrogen can cause the endometrial tissue in your uterus to get very thick, which can lead to heavy and/or irregular periods. If your androgen levels are high for a long time, you may develop acne and hair on your face.
PCOS is one of the top leading endocrine / hormonal disorders in women. Now... What do we know can cause hormonal issues that we consume on a daily basis? And why is it, that with a healthier diet, that PCOS can suddenly be reversed?
Two Food Additives Found to Have Estrogen-like effects
And if true... Many countries being raised on artificial foods and unhealthy diets. How does this hormonal imbalance effect children in the womb?
Homosexuality May Start in the Womb
Homosexuality and Biology
Some quotes I pulled from this article that I found interesting:
"The very term "sexual orientation," which in the 1980s replaced "sexual preference," asserts the deeply rooted nature of sexual desire and love. It implies biology."
"This figure is based on something geneticists call "heritability," a painstakingly calculated indicator of how much genes have to do with a given variation among people. If heritability is less than 100 percent, then the characteristic being studied is by definition "multifactorial." Eye color is 100 percent dependent on genetics. Height, on the other hand, though about 90 percent genetic, is also affected by nutrition, and thus is multifactorial.
If a large contribution to homosexuality comes from genes; where does the rest of it come from ? The range of environmental and biological inputs a developing child receives is both enormous and enormously complex. "Whatever the other variables are," Pillard says, "they must be present early in life."
Early in life, huh? Allow me to re-direct you to these articles: Homosexuality May Start in the Womb
FACT: There is no Gay gene, but there ARE chemicals that turn people gay
BPA May Lower Men's Testosterone, Study Finds
If anything... I am disgusted by Monsanto and other corporations like Nestle. These are the same corporations that want to privatize water and claim "water is not a human right".
Getting off my soap-box... As someone that has PCOS and goes through very severe hormonal fluctuations, I can vouch for what I say in personal experience. It is a very sad world we are in right now... I rambled like this because I want to encourage people to also consider how the strings are being pulled even on a very microscopic level. Some of you already know how I feel about microbiology and biomedicine, lol.

Someone very dear to my heart told me this when I was first saved. I was so ashamed of the life I had lead and thought my sin was worse than others in the church. She told me that God was above us and that sin was like trees. From the ground trees are taller and smaller; from the sky they are all the same. Though we see sins as large and small, all God sees is sin and it is all the same. This is how I feel about sin. It helps me keep a love in my heart for sinners, because Jesus did. I still fall and have my own problems, but I get up and keep walking forward toward the Light.

Thank you for sharing with us, brother. I really do like the way that your friend metaphorically described sin... It paints a picture. And actually really makes sense, now that I am sitting back and thinking about it.
I, too, am ashamed of my sins. On really bad days, I wonder if I am even truly "saved". Deep down, I know I could do better. On the other hand... I am reminded to talk to God. To pray, repent, and ask for strength in renewing my faith in His plan.
I know that God can use my past sins in His plan. I have been able to reach people I don't think I otherwise would have been able to reach if I did not make similar mistakes. I see the way people's faces light up when they know they aren't alone. I thank God for those moments because I truly feel that he is working through me.
