And I have answered but you do not like my answer. I have told you and you have been given free choice by your maker.
Your beliefs are different than mine- so be it. God loves you and I love you.
Haha. I ask you why is my homosexuality sinful, why is it wrong, what harm it causes me, or my husband, or you, or your children, or your mailman, and you answer by saying "talk to your maker"? Really? You haven't even begun to answer what I asked.
Listening to God is not an explanation of why my loving another man and him loving me back is a sin. Listening to God is not a reason why my having sex with him is wrong. Listening to God does not exemplify how my being gay harms anybody.
Please, explain it to me. I'm still waiting. I'd love to hear an actual argument for once (although I highly doubt you'll supply one - you'll once again avoid actually supporting your position by again saying something like "I would tell you, but I'd just be wasting my time").
Re-read my post a little slower and you might get it. if not keep reading it over and over again.

Since I'm so stupid, could you just you re-post your answer as to why my homosexuality is wrong with examples of the harm it causes me or others. I'd really appreciate it.
I can. It is unnatural to those who have common sense. To have sex with a body part that is to be used to eliminate waste from the body is unnatural.
There are lots of heterosexual couples that engage in anal sex, as well as lots of homosexual couples that do NOT. Anal sex is not a question of homo v. hetero.
Is homosexuality natural? Of course. It occurs in other animals that understand nothing of "sin" or "perversion" or "immorality", thus it IS natural.
Is it "normal"? In the sense that an overwhelming majority of all animals, including humans, are heterosexual - no. However, "normal" takes on a positive connotation in everyday language and to label something "abnormal" usual has a negative perception. So, my answer would be that it is not the norm, but it is certainly not anything negative.

You have made your choice. I have made mine. What I choose to believe and what you choose to believe.
Actually it harms you but I will not get into deep discussion of that. I will end my conversation with you as you accept the lie and not the truth of what is sin.

God will judge everyone. Mankind was made higher than the animals you are referring to.
I know gays who came out of homosexuality. They chose to be an over comer of lust and lustful thoughts.
I'm sorry to say, but you don't "know" anything unless you have been on the inside looking out. Unless you were gay yourself and became straight, you don't know how much of what they are doing is a façade or not, even if it's for themselves as much as it is for you. I have convinced straight people that I came out of homosexuality (actually it's not that hard cause they want to believe it so badly to begin with)--but I'm still gay.
