You’re ascribing far too much logical thought to it. I’ve argued with her about editions and translations of the Bible. It’s purely irrational attachment to the idea of the Bible that her church uses as the indisputable and unchanging word of God. Which is a shame, because she’s an otherwise genuinely intelligent woman.
At least it stops at “I don’t believe in or support gay marriage, but gay people are people and should not be mocked, harassed, or excluded, as we are all sinners and should not judge one another.”
Well that’s as good as it will get at least! She’s allowed to think that, as long as she doesn’t actively try and prevent gay people from getting married.
I think she’s accepted it as part and parcel of the sinful world we live in that Jesus is gonna come and redeem any day now (or long after we’re dead, whichever).

Which is more I can say for most fundies.
