1. Marriage was ordained between a man and a woman from the beginning--with no ambiguity.
2. Sexual immorality is sex outside of marriage.
3. Sexual immorality is a sin.
4. Homosexual activity is outside of marriage (from 1)
5. Homosexual activity is a sin (from 2 and 3).
Then again, there are very few that want to have a discussion...and even less at AF.
In your version of your religion. Why should your version of religion be law? And, 'it's a sin in my religion' is not a rational argument for why something should not be allowed.
The logic is perfect.

If you want to follow a book written by men, claiming to be inspired by a deity that hasn't been proven to be true, then that's your prerogative. It doesn't mean we should base laws on it.
Who said anything about basing laws on it?
I think you confuse the redefining of of the word 'marriage'. You can't understand why religious people have a hard time redefining that word given their belief system?
