But, the Bible IS NOT the official word of God.
God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and they are in the Bible - The Book of Exodus Chapter 20. That's pretty much the official word of God. There are also seven references in the Bible forbidding gay unions; also incest and beastiality.
You can make gay marriage legal by the laws of man, that's fine, but the Catholic Church will never recognize it. South Africa, I wish you well.
