I believe what you are seeing mostly is the backlash from the push by the gay community. Like I said, I went to many churches over decades and doubt I heard the word gay or homosexual twice. And maybe not at all, I don't recall a single sermon on it. Sexual immorality yes, but no details. There is no call to outlaw remarriage because that would create a Christian law, and one that many don't believe in themselves. It's not the same thing.Thats hypocritical to me, and insincere. I hear many calls to block gay marriage from being legalized, but not a SINGLE call from the Christians to make remarriage illegal too. Yes, I get the point about the perceived unnaturalness of the whole thing, but isn't breaking a direct vow before God just as freakin' serious?
Same sex marriage changes what marriage is, the union of the male and female, both bringing their qualities to make a better whole and to hopefully (likely) reproduce.
There is no breaking of vows because that isn't what Christianity is, unless you are in a monestary or something. It isn't law. That might be tough to understand from the outside but there's 2,000+ years of writing on it and a different topic.
