As long as they are homosexuals and that's where it ends it is fine. Don't force it down our throats, as it were.


And heterosexuals shouldn't force their heteronormativity down people's throats either.

Sigh. I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're merely too young to be on this site and genuinely haven't thought about it, rather than the troll you most likely are.

Go on then. Give me a reason, a single individual reason, to be against homosexuality.

It's fine, I'd be rather hypocritical to say anything else.

I personally think God's 'morality' itself is questionable, and even debatable; so I don't think the Bible or God should have any say on what's wrong or right, ever.

I think people like me should be able to get married too, It'd be stupid to not give rather fundamental right to a minority, simply because a group of people trying to translate the Bible say they're a minority on an archaic bundle of books that are debatably moral says they're immoral.

It'd work for trans people as well since, as far as I am aware, them changing to the gender they feel they are doesn't necessarily mean they want to be with people of that same gender.

But that doesn't spell a word, and is thus not interesting.

It is an argument regarding morality, which is the only argument for or against gay marriage. It isn't like it directly benefits or harms society.

No, it's an argument regarding a stupid, barbaric book. Anyone who thinks the bible is a good moral guide has severe mental problems. And fuck knows why anyone would take it seriously in the first place.

Find me a single person alive today that follows the book of Leviticus. All of the book of Leviticus. Then, and only then, can you argue that it is in any way relevant to anything (and even then, you're going to have to explain why the fuck you have the right to make other people follow your favoured fairytale rules). Then you can point out exactly which part of Leviticus condemns homosexuality, and I can tell you why you've mistranslated it.

It is quite literally impossible for a man to have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, so your point is moot.
