Eve Tushnet.... my sense from a bit of reading is that she really does not believe that homosexuality is a sin....I dont get her quite getting there.

Normally you can just punch in such and such on homosexuality etc, but it`s like she is playing it down, or kind of talks around it.

Yes sin is sin I get it, but to explain it away like....heterosexuality outside of marriage is also a sin...true indeed but, still seems to be in denial.

Why dont I get a result on google with the honest question...does Eve Tushnet believe homosexuality is a sin or not

sounds like she is along the lines of Joel Osteen, who when pressed will only say....well it`s not God`s best

We know that sexual immorality seems to trump most sins, and homosexuality gets the ABOMINATION tag, so I see it as her playing it down

You may have been somewhat unaware of the fact that Tushnet's book (link) and most of her talks, start with the premise that homosexual conduct is a sin, and must be firmly and unequivocally rejected.

In other words, her particular task in writing is not "arguing against" acts of sexual perversity: that is taken as a given. She is writing to help people who arrive at that point and say, "OK, I'll go an sin no more. Now what do I do?"

She is a promoter of Spiritual Friendship --- she's definitely on the right track. And she's an excellent writer.
