Fornication is not adultry, I want to point out. Biblical divorce is only permitted between betrothal (which is more than an engagement but as binding as our marriage) and before CONSUMATION. If uncleanness is found (she's not a virgin), then divorce is permitted. The reason being that prior to the betrothal there was fornication -- sex outside of marriage.

From a Biblical perspective, it absolutely IS adultery. It covers the entire gamut of sexual sins including homosexuality. Unless you are part of the Bill Gothard cult...
