Again, I don't think a relationship wherein one partner is physically abusing the other is equivalent to a homosexual relationship. You might find the latter spiritually abusive, emotionally abusive and morally abusive, but these are not necessarily abuses that develop any physical symptoms or imperil ones life as in the case of physical abuse.

Actually, emotional abuse can and does develop physical symptoms and imperil ones life. Why do you think so many gays commit suicide? Is it because they are emotionally healthy?

I don't think you should keep your beliefs silent, but this is about outlawing conduct that you find repulsive and immoral.

Actually, it's about teaching the conduct to children. It's also about creating a new law to create a legal relationship that does not currently exist.

I know there are some who want to create anti-sodomy laws. I don't. I don't see any particular need to try to remove them, but I would not fight that. I don't want to see the definition of marriage, which has existed for millennia, changed. I think we should be honest when speaking about homoerotic attraction that it is a sign of mental illness, but I am not ready to call for outlawing it.

Shalom.

It is society's fault, you jerk. Gay men have a low self-image because evil homophobes such as yourself have failed to embrace the beauty of the homsexual sex act. Only when gay love is recognized as equal to natural man-woman love will we truely be able to say we live in a free enlightened society.

Fair enough. I don't agree that homoerotic behavior is a mental illness but that doesn't mean I agree that the definition of marriage should be changed.
