God created the earth and everything on it.

Hence, God is a part of everything.

Therefore, God is love.

Love exists between gay men (i.e., gay love).

Therefore, God is a part of gay love.

Hence, God is slightly gay.

Also, I saw him marching in a pride parade.

Are there flaws in this logic?

i dunno. i saw a guy driving down the street the other day that had an uncanny resemblance to Jesus. So if God marched in a Pride Parade, then Jesus drives an SUV.

Yes the logic is completely flawed because first God created everything for his glory. Romans 1 tells us that Homosexuality came about when man chose to worship the creature instead of the creator. One of the results of this was men loving men and women loving women (and i mean loving like an erotic kind of love) and so God did not create homosexuality.

In terms of seeing God at a gay pride parade... i'm sure if you described it more- it'd be obvious that you didn't see God at that parade...

Argument:
(A)God created the earth and everything on it
(B) Hence, God is a part of everything.
(C) Therefore, God is love.
(D) Love exists between gay men
(E) Therefore, God is a part of gay love.
(F) Hence God is slightly gay.
(G) Also, I saw him marching in a pride parade

Analysis:
Conclusion (B) does not have to follow from Premise (A).
Conclusion (C) does not have to follow from and is disjointed from Premise (B).
Conclusion (E) is based on premises (C) and (D). Since Premise (C) does not follow from Premise (B); Conclusion (E) has a flawed Premise and is therefore invalid.
Conclusion (F) is based on Premise (E) which is flawed because it is based on false premise (C) therefore making it a false premise for (F) therefore making Conclusion (F) an invalid conclusion.
Assuming you could validate Premise (G) it would be your best argument toward conclusion (F).

Additional Notes:
You have provided no warrant for the connection between any of your premises and conclusions.
I have given my analysis of your argument unbiased of my opinion of the issue.
I assume this was a joke but you asked how your logic was and there you go.

Yes the flaw is in the generalization. God Who 'created male and female in His Image, male and female He made them'. Therefore God is both, all and neither or any. There are no genders in the spiritual world as such. Also what would 'slightly gay' mean - AC-DC God is Love but there are many kinds of love. Only God is truly a benificent love or giving from Himself without 'benefits to himself', as most of us humans tend to do. So gay love is good, but what does that mean? Love of the person regardless of gender is something we all need and should offer to all. God in the gay parade would only be an image or representation in someone's mind, as God is pure spirit. So God in all things and all things in God. Lots more to say but enough for now I hope.

The flaw is the idea that a component of something IS the thing, and that creating a thing makes one a component of it.

"God is a part of everything therefore God is Love."

Flour is a part of cake, therefore flour is cake.

"God created the earth and everything in it, hence God is a part of everything."

I created all the furniture in my house hence I am part of my coffee table.

But you get points for calling God gay.

And yes, I am an Implicationist, thus my approach to pointing out the fallacies.

Well, because God created Earth and everything on it does that mean God is evil as well. There is plenty of evil on Earth as well as gay love. I do believe God is the higher power, but I do not think God adapts to human emotions. Who am I to say though...it's not like I am God or you are God, so with that said, I suppose it's whatever you believe.

yes. there is at least one major flaw in this logic. "love exists between gay men." true love, the way the bible defines it does not and cannot exist between two men. if you had said, "true lust exists between gay men" i would have agreed with you. two men cannot love each other the way a man and woman are designed to love each other in the institution of marriage the way God has commanded us to do it. Sex is designed for reproduction and recreational purposes. those two go together and when they are separated is when you get into trouble.

I suppose. To say that God created everything doesn't mean that he IS everything. Also, God did create man, but the love between man and man is sinful therefore created by or manipulated by Satan. This is one such example of the meaning to a few common phrases like things being 'ungodly' or 'godless'.

Your "logic" utterly falls apart in your fourth line.

That's where you assume that love exists between gay men -- but apparently between no one else.

But of course, that's not true.

Furthermore, some would even hold the opinion that what exists between gay men isn't really love -- it's lust, and lust gone wild.

I'm not necessarily saying that I hold (or don't hold) that opinion -- I'm just passing on what others may be thinking.

Don't worry, you'll get plenty of weird answers from "Christians" who will skirt your question and say it is the devil - which God created, or free will - which God created.

Being gay, or lesbian, or trans-whatever, is just in the person's genes in the way they were formed. It is an evolutionary mutation, just like we are a mutation from apes - (i.e. all evolution is a form of genetic mutation because the DNA didn't clone exactly as is,) so I didn't mean it in a bad way.

Yes, God loves the gay men but hates the sin.
