I do not believe anyone should get their ideas about family values and sex education from this story. This story has NOTHING to do with what happens in the happy homes of lesbian and gay couples and far more to do with what happened in the US-run Abu Ghraib prison with all the humiliating torture and prisoner abuse that happened there.
Christianity can be a faith about love, forgiveness, understanding, charity, mercy and grace, and it can be taught in violent warlike manner that justifies all manner of violence in Jesus' name.
