In the same section of the bible that states homosexuality is a sin, it also states that children who disobey their parents should be stoned. So, for all of the Christians who think homosexuality is wrong "because the bible says so," do you stone your children too? Do you take every word of the bible literally? You can't pick and choose which parts you want to follow. If some parts of it are outdated, maybe it all is.

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

The Bible says homosexuality is an abomination. Then again, it also says eating shellfish is an abomination.
Unfortunately, people have very selective recollection when it comes to The Bible. They simply use it as an excuse for their prejudice.

Context. Who was the Bible talking to, why, what was the setting, was it for everyone on earth, ta da ta da ta da---any time you take something out of context it may not make sense.
If a judge in your town sentenced a man to death for some crime- would you then go and kill all the men in town? See how stupid your question is?

Why don't you people understand!!!!!!!
Christian morals come from the New Testament.
Try asking Christians about our morals or actions based on New Testament scriptures.
Ask Jewish people about the Old Testament and the Law.
You speak about pick and choose looks like your guilty of the same!

That was more of a statement than a question.
For you to quote the Bible must mean that you have taken the time to read it, most of the people that hate gays and other people of difference probably haven't read it.

That's one reason not to follow the right hand path. they preach one thing but practice another. their all a bunch of hypocrites. i got friends that don't even know I'm a satanist yet but the ones that do know are surprised that I'm probably one of the nicest guys they've ever met.

homosexuality equals abomination. abomination does not equal New Covenent subtract Levitical laws. it is carried over into NT. understand? Plus it is repeated in the NT. study.

fortunately we dont have either of the 2 acts happening.
