We need to realize that law and morality are not the same. I'm sick of people using the Christian faith as a crutch for bigotry.
Discrimination against homosexuals is one of the last socially accepted forms of discrimination. That's not right.
Linguistic evidence indicates that, in biblical times, the word "eunuch" applied to homosexuals. The Bible extends God's love to all people, including eunuchs (see Isaiah 56 and Matthew).
