All the ones who were affraid gay marriage was going to destroy marriage.
It’s sad that so many who profess to be Christians think homosexuality is okay when God says it reveals His wrath.

Are you, a confessed atheist, using God's word to make it alright to commit murder against gays? That lets me know that you do not know God at all.So how can you use His word to endorse your hatred?
Not at all. I don't want anyone to be murdered. But the Bible clearly says that gay people should have been killed. I'm highlighting what God wanted i.e. the gays to be killed; not what I want.

If the Bible is the word of God then whatever YOU think about God's character is secondary to what the Bible actually says. Have you read the Bible all the way through? I have.

Is it sad that Jews think bacon is okay in grocery stores when God says it is an abominable thing?

Under the Law brought by Moses killing may have been justified. Since Jesus came grace has been granted to humanity. Now you don't undestand that and I don't expeect you to understand.

What exactly have I done?

Are you not a Christian who has supported keeping homosexuals out of marriage?
Out of the military?
Not mentioned in schools?

Would you, if given the option, make expression of homosexuality illegal?

And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

I’ve never said that homosexuals cannot get married. Out of the military, yes, for the same reason that I wouldn’t put a man in a woman’s barracks. Schools? That would depend on some factors.

Illegal? Not sure. Hopefully they’d repent. Other than that, I’m not opposed to them going back into the closet.

You may have read it, but you missed some things.

Because the teaching of the NT does NOT say Homosexuals SHOULD BE KILLED. It says this.

They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same. - Romans 1:32 Bible Gateway passage: Romans 1:32 - Complete Jewish Bible

They DESERVE to die. It does not say nor command that anyone should go out and kill them. By the way that verse is NOT talking just about homosexuals it is also referring to.

In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things.They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarrelling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips,slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents;they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. - Romans 1:28-31 Bible Gateway passage: Romans 1:28-31 - Complete Jewish Bible

Homosexuals are only one of the types of people mentioned in Romans. The other part you missed is that the judgement is GODS not ours. So punishing those that do such things is GODS place not our place. Why? Because we too can do things just like that. We have no right to meet out judgment upon people for doing those things. We are saved by grace not of ourselves. We are just as bad or foolish as anyone else in our own. And sometimes as believers we are just as bad. You read the scriptures you know this. Think of all time the writers came down on the believers for their ungodly actions. And their rebukes of them.

Homosexualilty are just a type of sin. Gossip is a type of sin. Lying is a type of sin. Drunkenness is a type of sin. Greed is a type of sin. And they all deserve death. But that is God's place not ours.

Or perhaps you despise the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience; because you don’t realize that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to turn from your sins.But by your stubbornness, by your unrepentant heart, you are storing up anger for yourself on the Day of Anger, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed;for he will pay back each one according to his deeds.To those who seek glory, honor and immortality by perseverance in doing good, he will pay back eternal life.But to those who are self-seeking, who disobey the truth and obey evil, he will pay back wrath and anger.Yes, he will pay back misery and anguish to every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile;but glory and honor and shalom to everyone who keeps doing what is good, to the Jew first, then to the Gentile.For God does not show favoritism. - Romans 2:4-11 Bible Gateway passage: Romans 2:4-11 - Complete Jewish Bible

I'm not driving them to suicide by harassing and making their lives miserable so they have a chance.

You can show respect and kindness to people while not supporting their deeds. No, we should not harass, torment or kill anyone. Jesus never harassed, tormented or killed anyone. He also did not support their sinful deeds either.

I will state right now unequivocally that I would not support making homosexuality illegal.

I do not support making sin for sins sake illegal.

I don’t understand your point.
