Of course, at this point it seems completely useless to point out to the America's misguided homophobes that if you really want to follow the Bible that closely, why, we can easily justify, say, incarcerating unmarried single mothers. Or exterminating homeless people. Or burning pagans. Or imprisoning Buddhists or Rosicrucians and members of that weird cult Tom Cruise and John Travolta are into.

After all, the Bible has been used to justify slavery. And misogyny. And oppression. And racism. And genocide. And Pat Robertson. For centuries. And it still is.

Try reading 1 Timothy chapter 1 my friend here is part of it , but read it all and use a little understanding Christ will give it to you. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law[1] is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

She's obviously encased in her liberal cubical and has no qualms about dissing the majority of Americans who simply KNOW that this is not just an "alternative lifestyle" but what God calls sin and so DISGUSTED God that HE wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah after they were past any hope of seeing the truth. Furthermore, I am not "cowering" as this simpleton journalist states, but am an active, Bible believing Christian who will fight for God's values all my life to keep people like her and others from destroying this good nation!

Darn right the bible forbids gay relationships. Reverence Leviticus, 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

And don't commit adultery: Lev 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

And don't have sex with your mom: Lev 20:11And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

And don't have sex with your son's wife: Lev 20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood [shall be] upon them.

I hate Morford, but he is right that the bible can be used to condemn just about anything. I personally am acquainted with two gay couples who have together for far, far longer than any of my hetero married friends. With that kind of devotion I think they have earned the right to be recognized by the government (inasmuch as the government is in the business of recognizing couples).

Using the bible to suggest a basis for legislation is just wrong.
