They are after our children. They lie about it, but they lie about so much that this is no surprise.

It's time Christians started reading the Bible rather than listening to people that want to diminish serious perverted behavior. Those promoting and involved in perverse behavior don't deserve to be treated with dignity. They need to be told that their behavior is replusive and will lead to destruction.
Unrepentant homosexuals shouldn't be treated any differently than a drug addict that has no desire to give up drugs.
If there is nothing animalistic about you, then I assume that you do not eat, or sleep, urinate, or deficate or even die one day. For the rest of us who still have to deal with those realities we share with the world of animals, it is a different story.
The bigger question is, is only man made in the image of God, or is the universe made in the image of God? The really big question for puritanical Christian sects is this: Does God have genitals?
Not all Christian sects are puritanical, and not all conservatives are puritanical, and not all conservatives are Christian.
It's time for Christianity to grow up about sex and stop trying to be little perfect children of God without genitalia.
Here's what two leaders of the homosexual community wrote in The Overhauling of Straight America:
"...While public opinion is one primary source of mainstream values, religious authority is the other. When conservative churches condemn gays, there are only two things we can do to confound the homophobia of true believers. First, we can use talk to muddy the moral waters. This means publicizing support for gays by more moderate churches, raising theological objections of our own about conservative interpretations of biblical teachings, and exposing hatred and inconsistency. Second, we can undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times and with the latest findings of psychology. Against the mighty pull of institutional Religion one must set the mightier draw of Science and Public Opinion (the shield and word of that accursed “secular humanism”). Such an unholy alliance has worked well against churches before, on such topics as divorce and abortion. With enough open talk about the prevalence and acceptability of homosexuality, that alliance can work again here..."
This position is completely untenable. The state should not be involved in the religious practices of a church.
However, the Church should not use the state to prohibit private activity, in which, consenting adults engage and undue harm is not caused to another individual.
Homosexuality is not natural.
Neither is God, but I do not hear many people arguing against his existence, nor his goodness, on the basis that God is not natural. The agrument that just ignorant; many things are "unnatural," but that does not make them worng.
This is the saving grace of this. hopefully with no procreation they will also become extinct. But then I also believe that maried couples should be licencsed to have chldren
