We can forgive the first century Corinthians readily enough, but what do we make of those who call themselves Christians but won’t take a lesson from the Corinthians, or when confronted with the plain text, dismiss Romans out of hand?

We must, at some point, conclude they’re not really interested in being part of the same Body.

The "gay christian" apologists come up with all kinds of absurd arguments to dismiss scripture.
The most common one I've heard for Romans is;

"Paul is refering to heterosexuals who are violating their own nature by engaging in homosexual behavior. God "gave them up" indicates that God made them commit acts which were against their own "natural" orientation. None of this applies to genuine homosexuals since homosexuality is their "natural" orientation, not heterosexuality."
