Censorship is BAD. I'm no fan of the gay-lesbian lifestyle but if someone wants to make or view a film about it, that's their right.

Yes. The horrific moral decadence of the past century may be compared to tossing a pebble into a pond and watching the ripples fan out: It started on the European continent, then English-speaking nations with exception of the US, then the US, then east Asia and now its finally spread to India. Even many Muslims have been influenced.

The cancer spreads.

"Women make both the manners and the morals of a people. Neither rises higher than the gauge which women set in a community...Where a woman has bad manners, it always has in it an element of vulgarity which is more painful than it could be in a man. The result will be a society hopelessly vulgarized...with no end but to sink in an ever deeper abyss of vulgarity." -- Thomas Nelson Page, 1911

Aquinas ... to characterize homosexual desire and love as a cancer leads you off track.

There is not anything at all sensually superior in one form of sex over another. It all pretty much comes down to the burden we all have to bear, the hormonal combined with the tactile.

The bigger picture when contrasting homsexuality with heterosexuality is procreation. That is a significant consideration.

But the other bigger picture is affection ... who stimulates our basic selves.

Some people are just as naturally attracted to the same sex, as others are to the opposite. There is zero advantage to desiring a person of the same sex, and probably a risk of huge disadvantage.

For homosexuality to be condemned, even the act to be condememned (beyond the condemnation of non-marital sex itself) requires you to identify some harm to the act itself.

Heterosexual sex can be condemned on the grounds that a child might be reproduced, irresponsibly.

What is the essence of the sin committed by homosexual sex?
