Any other thing that you call sin, for the most part, you can give explain how it is harmful to a person and those around them. Murder, stealing, bearing false witness, addictions, unforgiveness, adultery, gossip, etc. But how is SSM harmful to anyone?
The anus is designed as an exit, not an entrance. Repeated use as an entrance is unhealthy.

Anything that's unhealthy for the individual is unhealthy for society.

There are women homosexuals too, you know.
There are heteros that do this too, you know.
There are some male homosexuals that do not do this, you know.
There are such things as condoms that aren't sold exclusively to 'straight' people, you know.

What about those cases?

Are you saying that anything that has the potential to be unhealthy should be made illegal because it's harmful to society?

And, are you further saying that if some people MIGHT do something within their marriage that could be unhealthy, they shouldn't be allowed to marry because it's harmful to society?

Oh, so you're one of those people who see homosexuality as merely a sex act and not a state of being.

By the way, who cares if it's unhealthy. Are you suggesting that we ban everything that's unhealthy? Should the health police make unexpected and random raids on your home to make sure everyone is exercising, no one is eating potato chips, and no one is having sex except in the missionary position with the lights on (and only to procreate)?

How?

HOW is it unhealthy for society? Explain yourself instead of making all of these bare assertions.

But you claimed homosexuality was 'unnatural'. If humans are not bound by your natural/unnatural rule, why did you claim that homosexuality in humans was unnatural? Now you're abandoning that claim.

Actually, I know precisely why you did it - because the "It's unnatural!" meme sounded great when you read it on some blog or heard it from the guy who tells you what to think when you go to church, and you didn't question it. Because you didn't question it, you were oblivious to the (very obvious) implications of it. Now that they've been pointed out to you, you're flailing about for an exception to a dumb rule, and the only 'exception' you can come up with is one that discards the rule entirely.

Wearing clothes and using a fork is not offensive to nature or harmful to the individual.
Nothing is 'offensive to nature'. Nature has no consciousness to perceive offense. You're just tossing out baseless assertions to prop up your excuses. That's what happens when your excuses as so completely bereft of any logic - you have to invent rationalizations for them. We have a word for that: fantasy.

You work very hard, and futilely, trying to come up with some justification for the anti-gay animus that exists within you for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with the excuses you toss forth and then regularly discard when someone points out what drivel they are. You clearly do not like gays, but you're clearly aware that your dislike is wrong, so you try very hard to convince people (including yourself, I suspect) that your dislike is justified. It's not. You're simply wrong.

So we have to choose between homosexuality and adultery?

God says marriage is between a Man and a Woman and it is to be a life-long commitment of fidelity until death do them part. Any deviation from this is wrong.

God not Man decides what is right and wrong. It doesn't matter what we believe is true in the end.

Courts and society exist, God doesn't.

Except the text declaring so we penned by the latter and not the former.
