Psalm 2 (King James Version)
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Verse 8 is a critical verse. Some Bibles translate this verse to read that God will give you the nations as an inheritance.
Israel was not even a nation when God chose her. Out of that tiny group of people, God formed a nation. God gave His people a land, defeated those who tried to keep the children of Israel from being able to possess the promised land. And God blessed His people.
The God who worked miracles to protect a small group of people and to build them into a nation is working on behalf of gay people. The gay nation is a small group of people too. God has chosen the gay nation to serve Him. And God is blessing His gay children.
