What do you think of my Venn diagramme below?
Am I right to suggest that there is a tendency for those who object to Penal Substitution to support gay marriage?
Am I right to suggest that there is a tendency for those for who Penal substitution is the indispensable truth, to oppose gay marriage?

Am I wrong to generalise, or is it a reasonable overview?
Is it that if you think God’s laws (in detail) are important, it means that (a) they must be obeyed even when culturally inconvenient and (b) there must be punishment for breach of those laws and hence the need for penal substitution as the only way to satisfy both justice and mercy simultaneously?
Is it that if you are fuzzy about the laws, then the need for punishment can be glossed over and more appealing interpretations of the cross can be found?
Can we bring left and right together, making the right less harsh and the left less lax?
