"For you what is more important: religious freedom or basic human rights?"
There, I fixed it for you.
Religious Freedom is a basic human right - but your right to believe in a god stops when you try to control, effect, or change the religious beliefs of another person.
An exception to this is when a person believes in something that is untrue - other people have a community duty to correct and attempt to mitigate the spread of misinformation.
LGTBQ people have the exact same intrinsic rights as the rest of us - and that includes marriage, which existed as a social contract LONG before the creation of the Judeo-Christian faith and which has no monopoly on the institution.

Everybody has the same basic human rights
Just because you indulge in various sexual perversions does not give you special rights.
Religious Freedom obviously

It's not a matter of religious freedom, it's a matter of the basic human right to freedom of speech. What's next in Brazil, that criticizing your politicians will be illegal? If you can't express your opinions, you won't be even able to think the thoughts.

How do you not comprehend that your freedom ends where it would take away the rights of others? Are you literally this stupid?
If I go around calling black people the n-word, I certainly have the legal right to do that, but I also have a reasonable expectation that I will probably be beaten to death by the end of the day. that's a pretty simple concept, right? And yet you want to go around verbally abusing people for being born with a different sexual orientation.

That is nonsense. Sin is all around us, and it never affects my religious freedom. Legalizing another ungodly "right" will likewise have no effect on my religious freedom. Even if the courts "legalize" something that is impossible by definition, like same sex "marriage", it has no effect on my beliefs or my rights.
