Indeed, but culture does.

There are roughly 20 commandments, of those, 10 are lost to us.
But even if that was a commandment, I would still take the position I have. Religion has no place dictating law.

No, it does not.

No, it does not.
It does actually ... though it may be indirect

It has no place dictating law. It does dictate law, but so does religion.

Moral decay or personal freedom?

Culture is the whole problem when it comes to same-sex marriage.
A child in our current culture and society, whether raised by a single parent, a mom and dad, or a same-sex couple, is raised with the ideals of our culture. Even if that child were to, at some point in time, discover they are attracted to members of the same sex, or both sexes, or no sexes, it is still a part of their culture to want to marry the person they love and eventually have a family unit (traditional or untraditional). Just because an individual is LGBTQ does not mean they have entirely different cultural values than the rest of society.
The biggest struggle LGBTQ people go through is surviving their culture. At some point in their life they learn they feel differently than the majority of our society. They get teased, bullied, threatened, beaten, disowned by their families, and lose friends because they have become cultural deviants. They aren't a different culture entirely, as they have many of the same cultural views as the rest of us with only a few small (in my opinion) differences.
Especially those who have been disowned by their family and/or friends for being who they are want to eventually have their own family where a child can be loved and supported no matter what their decisions in life. I disagree with the notion same-sex couples would be bad parents; yes, it would be different, but not bad for the child. Also, despite the number of heterosexual couples wanting to adopt, there are still more kids than there are families. If the child is old enough to make the decision on if they want to be raised by two moms/dads or grow up in an orphanage, let them make that choice.

It has no place dictating law. It does dictate law, but so does religion.
For religion to dictate law, I can understand it has no place too, as they are the visions of a % of a population
But culture, exisiting from the very fabric that makes up for the majority of the population, their voice counts, else they would live in tirany and their laws dictated by tyrants
edit: we still have a few of those countries btw

Majority imposed tyranny is still tyranny.
Laws should be based on what is fair and just, culture has no business deciding that.
