The whole treatment in the bible is that of making homosexuality a disease, a depravity. We now know it is no such thing. So why would people still, in century 21 believe biblical edicts in the first place? It makes no sense whatsoever to keep following 3000 year old dogma.
People who follow the bible for this kind of morality stop thinking for themselves and just fall over and play dead in their bible besotted obedience.

females is plural, males is plural, and rather damning for you is the fact that they do so towards one another [in like manner]. Oh dear. I don't mean to be rude but I actually have better things to do than remonstrate with people who do not want to accept the simple reality of a text.

The post that was quoted here has been removedWe will probably never know what she decides to do, as I doubt she wants to be a public figure.
I did come across something which suggested that most South American countries have no specific rules about it, and will only deny you entry/residency if the crime is deemed threatening to their interests.

Look how Bruce Jenner was transformed from a B-rated talk show host into raking in the dollars by pushing the transgender theme for all the rainbow flag waving liberals to yelp to in harmonious resonance.

William McCovey was pardoned for tax evasion. For those who don't know, he was a baseball player who made around $80,000 in in autographs and such.
So does this send message that the tax laws are too harsh or does it send the message that the President of the US simply enjoys showing partiality to certain Americans over others?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThis is what you actually wrote:
Homosexuality in women does not negate the rationality of what I have said. I object to their practice on the basis that its anti biblical, this does not negate anything that I have previously stated and your objection is therefore moot.

That you do not accept the reasons does not make them irrational or illogical.
Actually I have provided rational reasons why I am against the practice of homosexuality. These range from having the highest ever recorded figures for HIV among homosexual males in the UK indicating to me that the practice is essentially destructive to an examination of the physiology of the human body leading me to the conclusion that its unnatural. These are valid and rational reasons. There is nothing irrational about them.
You can try to dance around it all you want. The fact is that to be "against the practice of homosexuality" and draw the conclusion that "it's unnatural" based on what you wrote doesn't logically follow. You can pretend that it does, but it doesn't. It's what bigots do. It's what you do. It is what it is.
You can also try to hide behind the belief that it is "anti Biblical", but that doesn't make it rational either. Just as the KKK hiding behind the belief that the mixing of races is "anti Biblical" doesn't make it rational.
The fact is that all you and the KKK have are YOUR interpretations of the Bible. There are other segments of Christianity that interpret the Bible very differently and hold very different beliefs from you and the KKK.
The fact is that the Bible, being what it is, is widely open to interpretation. There have long been segments of Christianity that have used the Bible as a weapon in furthering racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, etc. That people believe that the Bible supports their irrational bigotry, does not in any way make that bigotry rational in and of itself.
