It depends on what you mean... you have a loaded question and you don't define your terms. If by gay rights you mean does God (that's the Biblical God) recognize their relationships as a marriage than no he does not for 2 reasons, homosexual ACTS (not the people the act) are and abomination so he can't "give his seal of approval" so to speak, but more importantly in the Biblical view of marriage, marriage is a symbol of Christ (the husband) and the church (the wife) it loses its symbolic power if there are 2 husbands or 2 wives.
In saying that we must also acknowledge the other side. If by "gay rights" you mean their right to live unmolested, their right to choose to be with whoever they like regardless of it is good or bad, wrong or right, then yes God does acknowledge those rights (amongst all other rights we would call inherent rights) because he acknowledges all peoples right to free will and choice.
People tend to make a false dichotomy in such situations. Being told your wrong is not the same as being unloved. Being told your not given approval Is not the same as being told you CANNOT freely decide for yourself. I'd like to go on so I could explain more in depth but I've been long winded enough.
Does god support gay rights?
