given our awareness today that homosexuality is as biological as heterosexuality,

I didn't get that memo.

[utahagen]

I happen to think that homosexuality is 80% physiological, but so what? Just because a tendency may originate in biology doesn't mean it is moral to act out that tendency. I think orthodox Christians may have differing opinions about why people are homosexual; what said Christians should agree on is that sex is for marriage and that marriage means a man and a woman.

P.S. Not disagreeing with you — just neutralizing the Time writer's argument.

I stopped reading there ... then read again to the end of the paragraph .. and stopped .....period.

I have a pretty good imagination and honest ... at a great risk (by this confession here in FR), I confess I've attempted to imagine me with another man .. and by GOD ... that's some sick stuff.

The Bible condemns men with men .. AND women with women .. in more places than one, both Old and New Testament

It ain't supposed to be ... period.

Darwin would call homosexuality an unsuccessful mutation since it does not provide for procreation.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Even if homosexual behavior is biological (by which the advocates mean "zoological") that doesn't make it morally right for human beings.

If animal behavior is normative for humans, we should be living naked in the trees, pooping on the ground, establishing social hierarchies by brawling, flirting by displaying our swollen rumps, eating placentas, and --- if our offspring seem subpar --- eating the babies, too.

Every disease, disability, disorder, abnormality, malformation and malfunction known to man or beast, is biological. Duh: What else would it be? CGI?

That doesn't mean we have to define ourselves by our disorders.

Even nature doesn't favor behaviors that lead to the specimen's genetic extinction.

“You Can’t Handle The Truth”

**********WARNING GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS*************

“If you really love people you tell them the truth.

Seventy-eight percent of male homosexuals have or had a sexually transmitted disease. Two thirds of all the AIDS in the US are a direct result from homosexual behavior. Fifty percent of all homosexuals have gonorrhea. Homosexual young
people are twenty-three times more likely to get a sexually transmitted disease.

In San Francisco, the sexually transmitted disease rate is twenty-two times higher than the national average. Lesbians are fourteen times more likely to contract syphilis, four times more likely to have scabies, and three times more
likely to get breast cancer.

Only three percent of homosexuals are fifty-five years and older. And only one percent die of natural causes, a la, old age. The life expectancy of a male homosexual in America is forty-two years old.

How do I say to someone I really care about, and the premise is you really care, that, “Oh, whatever you want to do is okay.” You only live half as long. And like a domino, what happens to you, you will infect other people. By the gay’s report, forty percent of homosexual men have between one hundred to five hundred partners.

Important because, again, it’s, we have these ethereal pictures and we’re not honest and clear about how homosexual practice works.

The high rate of disease among homosexual males is due to unhealthy sexual practice. Ninety-eight percent of homosexuals engage in oral sex, ninety percent
practice sex with their partner in anal sex. This is biological suicide since the rectum was not designed to accommodate a thrusting penis or sex toys. During such activities the anal wall is torn and bruised, giving sperm and germs direct access to the blood stream. Since the anal wall is only one cell thick, sperm quickly penetrates the wall, causing massive immunological damage to the body’s T and B cell defense mechanisms. This doesn’t happen during vaginal sex because of the multi-layered construction of the vagina.”
