All those self-righteous protectors of marriage, family, and Our Christian Heritage in the name of God should crack open their dusty Bibles and read James 1:27

The book of James actually tells us that if we kept the entire Law and then didn’t love our neighbor as ourself then we are guilty of breaking all the Law.
