Love All vs Same Rights
That’s why it’s important to read and teach the whole Bible and not just the verses with the word love in it. If people really want to know what Christianity is, I suggest to them reading the Book of Acts. They’ll soon find out the word love is not mention once in the Book of Acts. The early Church had the correct understanding of sharing the Gospel, not like today. The message wasn’t God is love and good tasting, try Him you’ll like Him, look at all the wonderful things He’ll do in your life. The message isn't God is good tasting the message is, you are dying, and the solution is Jesus. The core message is “sin", and the answer to sin.
My response to “same rights” is what do they mean by same rights? Because Family Code § 297.5 states that domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits as married couples. So what right we are talking about here? Is it the right for the government to recognize civil unions as a marriage? My argument is that the government doesn't recognize certain marriages and has laws against polygamy, marriages of underage teens and children, pedophile base marriages and of course same sex marriages. So if people want the government to redefine the word marriage to two people in love with each other, than all of these are permissible too.

Love Needs an Education
Paul prays that our love as Christians will abound in "real knowledge and all discernment." The Apostle knows that love needs an education before it will actually approve what is excellent.
"Love" can inadvertently approve what is evil; it happens all the time, e.g., Christian parents of homosexuals who think loving their child means full acceptance of - even celebration of - their sinful behavior. Only “real knowledge and discernment” will protect us from having our personal feelings distort our moral judgments. Even emotions like love should be theologically informed. Paul makes it clear elsewhere that it’s actually a lack of love to rejoice in what is unrighteous (1 Corinthians 13:6).

2 Timothy 4:3-5
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Never Read a Bible Verse.
In order to have a correct understanding of the Bible, people need to read the Bible the way it was designed to be read, as a book. If God wrote us a 10-page letter telling us to do something important, would we read the whole thing or just the parts that appeal to us?
How would you feel if you found out that everyone you cared about only read snippets of sentences in a book you put all your heart into making?
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
