    If you look at what the Bible ACTUALLY says, no there isn't. Gay marriage isn't mentioned, Sodom is about turning over a visitor to his enemies (as Jesus) later confirms, and the Leviticus passage always quoted is about ritual uncleanliness, same as eating shellfish.

    Also, there's that little matter of us not living in a theocracy.

    There's a helpful starting point, if you're sincerely interested.

There is just no reference to gay people getting married or warnings against it in the Bible...at all!
