Really? I can think of
lots of things "much worse". The stigma attached to homosexuality in the Christian community, I think, has more to do with our culture and upbringing than any kind of inherent wickedness of the practice itself. Yes, there is scripture condemning it. But why? I can see the logic in forbidding many things, such as murder, incest, rape, lying, stealing, etc. But homosexuality is different. It seems to be a law for the sake of itself. A test, just to see if we obey, perhaps?
The whole thing about it being a "threat" to the family: I don't buy it. How does it harm
my family, if two men down the street are "married" or living together? Nothing they do, in the privacy of their home, can possibly prevent me from having a healthy, monogamous, heterosexual relationship with my wife. Those guys are no threat, whatsoever.
Yes, the activists can get carried away, but it's no more than an annoyance, unless they rioted or something. That's another matter, and it's wrong for good reason. But if they get laws passed allowing gay marriage, so what? It doesn't force me to become gay! Seriously, I don't get the outrage or the alarm. Or why it's so incredibly
evil. Someone explain it to me.
