Recent Legalization of Homosexual Marriage in USA

Although they did more than that in terms of sinning.

I do not believe any religion accepts homoseksuality, except maybe Satanism.
Although the Quran never uses the the term, homoseksuality it clearly condemns man having seks with man. Muslims also except Thora and the gospel as the message from god. The Thora clearly forbids both seksual intercourse between two women and two man.
Sex before marriage is forbidden and as their was no such thing as gay marriage in the time of the prophet it follows that homoseksual contact can never be hallal since it always falls into the categorie of zina or lewdness.
So I do not believe that homoseksuality can be reconciled with an Islamic way of life.This being said. I do support gay marriage.
Why?- There is no force in the Deen and it is Allah's will that there will be non believers. So it follows that not every citizen can be expected to follow quran or the previous books.
2)I am not only a Muslim but also a social worker, friend and citizen in and of a free, non religious society.
Thus it follows that I have professional, personal and social obligations to ensure the human rights of all minority groups are respected.
3)since i live in a time of condoms and STD medication, and in a society where these are readily available to the lgbtq community there is no threat to my human rights.
So there is no objective reason for me too discriminate against or judge members of the lgbtq community who engage in adult, mutual consentual and safe same sex relationships.
