I believe people if they say they have no choice. But attempting to redefine what our culture calls marriage is all it amounts to. The extension of all legal and civil rights in Civil Union has been refused by petulant children or various ages. Lets redefine adoption, death and birth, while we are at it.

Do you think homosexuality is not normal and not okay? Then, perhaps, we should seek reasons or a remedy. The problem is that many people need to feel better than the other person. That is the root of the unkindness, I suppose. They need someone that they can compare themselves to and feel better about themselves. Jesus also said things that help alleviate that destructive need.

All sorts of things have become parts of societies and cultures. Defining how we should act by those patterns makes little sense to me. Just because you can does not mean you should. I have been blessed with the ability to accept Christianity. So I have a anchor. Sociology and Anthropology just makes me happier about my choice. Others may feel comfortable wandering. Part of being human, I guess.

It may be genetic or cultural but is not consistent in percent.

The dehumanizing and hatred seems to be coming from the Gays, now. If it is biological, it will remain around 2%, but I have not sorted out why it has, historically, been very, very low among Australian Aborigines. Lower that claimed by many in this country.

Not so. But how many wives a man may have, or how many husbands a woman may have varies around the world. It was an act of kindness, when men went off to war, and did not come back, for another man to take her and her children in. Other arrangements had similar practical explanations. But marriage is a heterosexual union. To bad, but the redefining of it is all this discussion amounts to.

Strikes me funny that people point out, as if happy to poke a stick in a Christians eye, that marriages fail, yet value it so highly that they will make unending debate as to why it is something so worth the hassle to have. Perhaps, if anyone asks me, 'are you married', I will say, with obnoxious pride, I am in a stable heterosexual union. That might upset the self-decieving as they realize what they have is a ridiculous parody they are calling marriage.

Another quick out from a parrot. The Bible is quite clear about homosexuality, that men should not steal, bear false witness, commit adultery, and so on. Don't like it? Every child comes into the World ready to have the World serve them. Some never grow out of that, and find what is in the Bible intolerable. Generally, many never read it, yet have so much to say as if they know it. The Bible is the advice from an unappreciated parent to the perpetually rebellious child, who can even lie to themselves.

Marriage, like birth and death, is not re-definable, any more than walking is, because some people grow up unable to walk. It took a long time to figure out all the reasons people cannot walk. It will take a long time, perhaps, to figure out why some men prefer sex with men. Neither the inability to walk or homosexual misdirection of the sex drive are things I would celebrate.

Everyone afraid of change looks in the Bible, seizes some verse out of context, and runs with it. It happened with Old Testament people, and Christians or not, ever since. We always mess up. But condemnation of homosexual behavior is not a cloudy issue. It would be easier, if it were. Men who do not want sex with a woman should not marry, as that is bearing false witness re: their own feelings and behavior. The same goes for a woman who prefers women. But marriage is marriage. Calling two men married is not so, even if most people think it is so. Thinking one race is inferior is not so, even if most people think it is so.
