Except with over 2 billion Christians and over 35,000 different Christian denominations, what constitutes sin is subjective. Whether you want to believe it or not, reading an English translation back by Conservative Bible publishers seeking a profit does not equal the inerrant, perfect "Word of God". Every time you read a verse out of the Bible, your personal experiences, personality, education, conscience, etc. etc. are interpreting that verse. And not everyone reads those verses the same.
So, how should I read them then? Correct me if I am wrong, don't just say I am wrong.
Generally speaking, until a homosexual relationship can produce a child it cannot be considered as on the same moral plane as a heterosexual relationship. IMO.
The nature of these two relationships is fundamentally different and should be treated as such. A function of a homosexual relationship is to reduce sex to nothing more than a hedonistic pursuit of pleasure. I, for one, think that sex is much more than just something that's there to make me feel good or to make my partner feel good. Good feeling is the bonus, an incentive if you will, but not the only point of the act.
It should still be legal..but I'm not about to pretend that a homosexual relationship is equal to a heterosexual one. It isn't.

Oh Lordy...the whole separate but equal thing again.
"Separate but equal"? I'm not advocating for segregation..(how do you even segregate relationships?lol), I'm just saying that they aren't equal..they are different relationships and with different dynamics. Pretending like they aren't is ignorant.

No one is saying that. But the love part is still the same. These two people obviously love each other. I agree with you about the sex part, but these two weren't having sex. They were innocently kissing, and it's a beautiful thing to see two people loving each other in this messed up world that we live in.

So relationships and sex where one or both partners are infertile, or relationships and sex between those who have aged past childbearing age are... "not on the same level" or "of the same nature" as those of child bearing age. Got it.
It's kind of odd how so many on this board fetishize the act of procreation. Very odd. Dogs procreate. Horses procreate. Procreation is not sacred. Human beings use sex for emotional connection and intimacy. Also, for fun. Otherwise, women would go into heat once a month, like cats.
