Do the Conservative Christians Have Any Excuse?

Have recently found another passage in the Bible which I believe shows that Christians should support the gay marriage rights.  The passage is, l Peter 2:13, 14, "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well."  King James Version.  An ordinance is a law--it's in the dictionary.  I think I've heard the term "ordinance" used in city politics, especially.  

Christians will excuse themselves from following the laws if they believe a law is a direct violation of their conscience.  However, I've stated before that the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 5 [verse 12] about sexual immorality and he said, "For what have I to do to judge them also that are without...?"  King James Version.  Paul's advice was that we shouldn't judge people who are OUTSIDE of the church.  If people do, I believe their consciences are overly-sensitive and the Christians are being over-controlling of others.  So, I believe the above text about following the ordinances of man is relevant.

The last I heard, it was some Protestant Christians in the USA--besides my church--who were resisting the anti-discrimination law, including gay marriage.  From what I've seen and heard of the Catholic Church, or the pope, they've come to terms with the special police project and they're not trying to fight the issues...?  [Although I don't know if gay marriage is "law" in the USA at this time, or if it was just a ruling by the Supreme Court...?  Nevertheless, I believe it should be respected.]

If some American police are talking to their community and government contacts, they might want to consider the above information.  But I don't think the police project needs to wait for the decisions....  I think we need to go forward, regardless....

Note added on September 26, 2022:  In North America, I believe we still have "religious exemptions" for gay marriage, which means that ministers who object for conscientious reasons aren't required to perform these marriages.  I agree with this and think it's fair.  Otherwise, I believe people should pretty much respect the gay marriage rights.
