Adam and Eve disobeyed one single time, and their punishment was death. I would say that's a pretty negative consequence for gay married couples.
But the negative thing is that God has said very clearly that it is sin in His eyes.
Don't mistake God's patience and kindness as His approval.

Thank you Trapped, it seems like you take Paul's words at face value, because that his books are the only books in the bible that claim those with homosexuality don't enter the kingdom of God. And due to previous discussions, you and I have different ideas of what the Greek term for "homosexuality" actually means, so in the end, it's pretty vague on what kind of homosexuals we are talking about here- men having sex with boys, temple prostitutes, boy slaves? or gang rape form Sodom and Gomorrah?
Everyone dies, not just same sex couples. The fact that God is not all forgiving contradicts God as forgiving. I thought Jesus took care of that.
Sons of Glory said that me and my sweetheart wont end up in hell and you imply that we will not enter into the kingdom of God. Where do gay couples end up? I hope it's in a land of unicorns and fairies so I don't have to deal with people who threaten homosexuals for using God to condemn them.
still don't see God stating it's a sin clearly, only writers in the bible who are interpreted by later readers that it's a sin.
