Gay marriage any worse than a woman not being a virgin?

P.S. voting for church leaders seems off the mark, though that's how we do it in my denomination. If there is any place were democracy should be avoided like the plague, its in the Church. Nothing good can come from popularity contests among God's people.

You two can pick and choose a few scraps of writings from the federalist and anti-fedealist papers, propose some of them out of context, but the vast majority support the principles our constitution and bill of rights recognize, that is the moral laws found in Torah and Christian principles found in the Apostolic writings.

By the way, this country was not found exclusively on Thomas Jefferson's worldview.

Not saying that this is a theistic nation, but it's founding values are Biblically based.

I don't know how this is linked to the OP though. No nation, religious or otherwise has a history of embracing this type of sexual perversion.

You're right, it wasn't just Jefferson - The thoughts of Thomas Paine had a bit to do with the Founding Documents.

Of course, no Christian church would accept his body for burial because he was so outspoken against religion...

Well, Paine had his moments, but he wasn't perfect. I think spending all that time in France and almost losing hs noggin' altered the moniker he was so well known for. Of course look what living in France did to Karl Marx....

In any case the title of the OP asks if a woman who engaged in sex before marraige is worse than "gay marriage"

First of all the concpet of gay marraige doesn't exist, Biblically. However the concept of a non virgin marrying does exist Biblically. I don't know how one can make a comparison in the first place. We can address thie sexual sin, but there is no such thing as "gay marraige."

Exactly. The non-virgin issue could have been a one time indiscretion or a long string of fornication, either of which could have been confessed and repented. The gay marriage thing indicates a non-repentant spirit and rebellion against God to such a level that the sin alone is not enough but the institution of marriage itself must also be attacked and corrupted. It would like a man who was caught up in pornography bringing it to church with him and not only insisting that it was morally acceptable, but also that the others should make accommodation to his sexual sin preference, even attempting to force them to agree with him that his pornography was right and moral.
The gay Christian thing is another made-up term. It’s not possible. Suppose a man who robbed banks his whole life becomes a Christian...at what point should he stop robbing banks? When he ceases, he has effectively repented of robbing banks. John the Baptist said to repent, Jesus said to repent, Paul said to repent, Peter, etcetera.
So after I kinda distracted myself...the two can’t be compared unless they’ve both been repented of.
What the issue actually speaks of it whether or not we as a society will legalize sin in our culture. Here’s the thing: no matter what we say about it, God’s law still says the same thing He’s always said and we can either agree with God or agree with the world, and we’ll have eternity to ponder over the choices we’ve made here.
