"The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated"

Such as? Sure it may be fun for them, but so is sin to the sinner. Love? What kind? You can love your dog, but only to a degree.

“Such as?”

This same question came up at one of their family synods 4 or 5 year ago, and one or another of the gay-apologists among the clergy there said something along the lines, “Well, you know, there’s companionship. There are homosexual couples where one has cancer or some other illness and the partner provides care and support. That’s what we mean by positive.”

But that’s a lame defense. I don’t doubt that the same sort of “care and support” occasionally exists in all sort of relationships that are fundamentally wrong such as between a hooker and her pimp, or a heroin dealer and his favorite addict. If a pimp takes care of one of his sick prostitutes, does that mean that there are positive elements of pimping? If a smack dealer is supportive and caring toward an addict, would we say that there are some positive elements in a drug-dealer-addict relationship?
