To say that the Bible has turned against it's readers is to say that those readers are also adhering to everything the bible says, and that's not true. It is true, the bible does condemn homosexuality. You may like it, you may not, but it is in there. (Romans 1:27) Now with this in view, that the bible condemns homosexuality, Hebrews 13:4 would indicate then that marriages of the same sex would also be wrong.

(Let me clarify this real quick as well, I do understand that there are many many here that do not believe in the bible, and my purpose is not to attack homosexuals, or those that are not but believe in their rights. My only purpose in this is to tell what the bible says on the matter.)

But when it comes to voting on such matters and getting involved with such things as fighting gay marriage through this political systems, it would go against the principles at John 17:14 and John 18:36, namely that a true Christian would try to avoid political involvement in order to stay "no part of the world" and that they would instead look towards God's Kingdom to solve mankind's problems, not human government.
