NOT socially inconsequential at all. This is a free ticket for child molesters. It is a club against Christians. It is a powerful influence to change attitudes about commitment, family, and the social structure of the culture. NOT inconsequential.

Missoauri gal, you are 100% right. Sex, gender, marriage and family ae the very basis of individual and social development. Pervert them, and everything gets perverted. Which means, tisted away from real human goodness --- tisted away from genuine human flourishing.

And yes, homosexual practices are perversions.

Even if they are done by heterosexuals.

Why do the 2-3% who are homosexuals have such huge political/social/cultural clout? It´s no great mystery. It´s the huge numbers of "straight" allies who are into similar or identical perversions.

And who share the identical underlying philosophy: sex is primarily for adult gratification. It has no other dimensions of meaning. Or, if it does have other dimensions (the making of a permanent, exclusive bond that lasts until death, the procreation of children, the union of the sexes, the consummation of the solemn vows of fidelity, the blessing of Almighty God) those other meanings are secondary or tertiary, and entirely optional.

It´s only "adult gratification" which is considered non-negotiable.

That´s the root of ALL perversion.

Even if it remains unspoken, I think everybody knows that.

That's right. God does not call Homosexuality "inconsequential" at all. He says it is an "Abomination" to Him (Leviticus 18:22) and to Israel a warning "lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean" (18:26). Will the God who dealt severely with Ancient Egypt and Babylon turn a blind eye on our sin? Oh, No!
