Hmm, in that case how would you feel if you had children and some discoverd that they were homosexual. If you loved them as much as the rest of your family and they wished to marry a same sex partner would your opinion change?*
*of homosexuals in general.

Well, he confessed to
hating lesbians. I thought hating your 'neighbour' was also a sin?
I think governments should do away with marriage altogether and instead introduce civil unions for all couples, regardless of their sexuality. The fact remains that
marriage is a religious institution, despite the fact that for most people who get married, the religious connotations are never considered. It's logical that civil unions are what is needed - marriage is about legal rights. If you attach religious meaning to it, that is your business, but homosexual couples shouldn't be denied the legal rights that come with marriage simply because of religion.
It's funny how homosexuality gets so much attention from Christians when there are so many other, pressumably more important rules to follow (The Ten Commandments, anyone?). Why do I never see Christians condemning those who work on the sabath? Jealousy is also mentioned in the ten.
Personally, I find Christians rather annoying and mostly morally bankrupt themselves. Times are changing and you fundamentalist Christians are being left in the past where you belong.
I don't know why homosexuals exist, but the fact that sexuality is a biological mechanism leads me to believe it has biological origins. We already know the role that sex hormones have during prenatal development, ie, the formation of sexual organs. And we are
aware of the kind of physical abberations that can occur when this part of the development goes wrong (intersexualism, hermaphroditism, AIS, etc), so the most logical explanation of homosexuality is that its a form of brain hermaphroditism; parts of the brain are feminised, resulting in a female sexual orientation.
