"If they were celibate they can hardly be called homosexual with any accuracy."

Does the above mean that celibate straight priests are not heterosexual? I believe that sexual orientation is more than just the sex act. But my main point is that like many postings I see on this site, you took a slap at gays when none was called for. You seem to believe that gays are a monolithic group. Believe it or not, Pres. Bush received 1/4 to 1/3 of the gay vote (which is better than Pres. Bush did among Black and Jewish voters), and there are many gays who are pro-life. Finally, I just believe that the kind of anti-gay rhetoric you used in your response is unkind and un-Christian. I think it's better to seek common ground with people on issues you can agree on. I think many people across the spectrum are appalled by what's going on in FL.

It is the behavior that is important. Celibate people are behaviorally non-sexual by definition. Christian arguments don't sway me, I'm an Old Testament guy, and according to the Bible homosexuality is unambiguously an abomination. (For your information, even if I were to concede that voting patterns mitigate the damage of homosexuality, which I do not, Bush did much better among Jewish voters than among homosexuals.)

I'll agree on one thing and that this disagreement is of no significance compared to the fact that our system of law is putting an innocent woman to death.
