      “LGBT” doesn’t have to be a conscience or religion belief. You can just state that heterosexual marriage against your beliefs.

          Yep. Jesus had a lot to say about condemning divorce. He didn’t really say anything about anything LGBT-related.

      “Mr. Woke Bond” is the best insult you can come up with?

      That’s pretty pathetic.

          As per Poe’s law, that might have been a joke. Well, it might’ve been not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Being against heterosexual marriage can certainly be a personal belief. It does not have to be a religious or conscience stance.

      If you want a religious stance: refuse to marry people who have been divorced.

        “Have you consummated your relationship?” Yes? I’m sorry, I can’t approve of your marriage.
