The Bible says you must marry the man that raped you...?
...Thats means if a man has raped a man, then they obviously need to marry! And that puts an end to the whole Anti-Gay marriage thing right? The bible said it! I asked this before didn't get the answers I liked.

Actually it says if a man rapes a woman who is unattached, then he must pay the father and marry the woman. The only way you can use that to marry a man is if he is a MtF transsexual who is not in a relationship.
For the people who do not know what he is talking about.
“If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives” (Deuteronomy 22:28–29).

The bible mentions the fact that IF A man rapes a woman that he ihas the option to matty her or to pay the father for her worth! not the woman because the woman is already damaged.
the bible also speaks of retrobutionj, if a man rapes a woman against her will, then the family has the right to pursue him and to kill him, no matter how long it takes.
Remember the story in the bible when the son of David raped his half sister, all that he had to do was to marry her but he got out of it because David, the king, was his father. but 2 years later; the other son of David killed him.

No, the bible specifies that that's for if a man rapes an unmarried female. Not a married woman, a boy or another man. Sorry, you'll probably still not like this.

For the sake of the child and woman, to be married even if the father is a rapist brings glory to God's name because it teaches of forgiveness and commitment. And it teaches that love can conquer evil.
In context, it refers to marriage between a man and woman.

It specifically says the rapist is male and the victim is female, so that does not address anything to do with marriage between same sex persons.

If the women aborts her child then she is a murderer.

That is not true. That is not a Bible teaching.

Please read more carefully.
The Bible does NOT teach, "you must marry the man that raped you".
