When it once again becomes legal in this nation.. then all of the persecution against it will stop just like people are beginning to no longer look at two gay men with the stares we did many years ago......
Its all WESTERN mentality....

You know.... some theologians would take issue with that right? My uncle-in-law is an Episcopal priest and we've had some interesting debates about gay marriage, ancient practices, and the context of various biblical laws.
I don't believe in gay marriage, but I am very familiar with theological positions regarding it's supposed practice in biblical times and the various classifications of eunuchs in Jewish literature.
