No, because it is outright in condemning sexual acts between people of the same sex, and I assume that's what homosexual marriage entails. I need no prejudice to interpret the bible in that regard. It's clear to me that if you follow the teachings of the bible you will not think that homosexual marriage is OK. I can understand someone believing it is OK, but not because they follow the bible.
I've met plenty of Christians who support gay marriage.
The thing with Bible interpretation is that people who read it will find some way - any way - to adjust it so that it fits into their own sense of morality. One's beliefs are not determined by the Bible; the Bible is determined by one's beliefs.
