And why should people get married?
Some people spend their whole lives never going to church,they don't believe and they don't care for Jesus,but they get hitched under the eyes of God and for some reason thats better than 2 people who are followers of Christ,who live by his teachings,who visit church on a regular basis and who just happen to be gay!
Sex with two consenting adults of the same gender is a worse sin than a person forcing themselves on another in a violent,degrading and soul destroying act! And also worse than a man [fornicating with],a 2yr old child!!
Educate yourself. There was no Bible before a Roman council put all those books in one place and standardized them.
The books i was talking about were originally in the Bible so therefore they must have been fit to be included!
Now, it is a FACT that we have risen to the top of the food chain, that we dominate the Earth and that no other animal has built jets and put itself in orbit.
Oh, and lets see a dolphin build a nuke, or even something as simple as a pencil.
And let me know when monkeys figure out that whole fire thing, k?
Where it becomes a problem is when they have sexual relations.
See, the thing is that homosexual behavior is deviance. You may not like that title, however it by definition is deviating from the norm. Your assertion that not allowing gay men and women the pleasure of sex with each other somehow is detrimental is a symptom of a deviant obsession with sex, probably born of some type of childhood abuse or demonic possession.

Male animals when in heat will sometimes have sex with other males if they cannot find a female.Is that act an abomination?
Male animals have also been known to have sex with other males to show that they are the dominant one.Is that an act of abomination or just a part of nature?

No,i'm condemning those who claim to be tolerant of all yet exclude people from that which they find tolerable.Exclusion does not equal tolerance,it never can!
Is it truly disgraceful for 2 people who love each other to express it in a physical way?
Isn't rape and pedophilia a much more wicked act?
Really now, was all that necessary? You have issues to deal with friend; I hope you get the help you need. The average person has a mental block about discussing or picturing the graphic nature of the act you just spelled out as if you were writing a letter to a NAMBLA porn magazine.
I would agree that they are more wicked, although probably not worse sin.
Cavscout the liar is no better than cavscout the murderer, even if the lies hurt no other person. Sin is sin.
Educate yourself. There was no Bible before a Roman council put all those books in one place and standardized them.
So I would assume that you do not exclude those with strong religious views that homosexuality is a grave sin from your circle of friends?
Are you not in agreement that those acts should be forbidden? Why limit yourself to accepting only some of Gods righteous standards?

I'm a member of the LDS Church so i have lots of friends who think that being gay is a grave sin.Just because i don't agree with someones point of view (and vice versa) does not mean we can't be friends,i just dislike hypocritical attitudes and behavior and i'm not afraid to say so!
"Homosexual activity is a serious sin. If you find your-self struggling with same-gender attraction, seek counsel from your parents and bishop. They will help you."
"This heinous homosexual sin is of the ages. Many cities and civilizations have gone out of existence because of it. It was present in Israel’s wandering days, tolerated by the Greeks, and found in the baths of corrupt Rome."
- Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, "President Kimball Speaks Out on Morality," LDS New Era, Nov. 1980, Page 39

Standards and attitudes change do they not?
For example.In the time of Adam & Eve incest was an accepted act,and also at the time when the great Flood ended(as Noah and the other 7 had to repopulate the earth.)Yet in other parts of the Bible it is sinful and the sentence for such behaviour is death.
Today incest is still a sin in most parts of the world,yet tribal communities still perform this act as they have so few people that if they did not they would cease to exist!

(Mark 7:6-8) 6 He said to them: “Isaiah aptly prophesied about YOU hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honor me with [their] lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. 7 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.’ 8 Letting go the commandment of God, YOU hold fast the tradition of men.”

Gah, the names of the people escape me at the moment, but who was it in the bible who fled to a cave with his two daughters? They got horny, got daddy drunk and made a plan to get it on with him while he "didn't know what he was doing" (that excuse doesn't wash with me at all, perhaps "didn't feel guilty about it at the time" or something).
Incest happens a few times in the bible. It's what they did to ensure the survival of their genes. Nasty!

is sodomy a natural act?
Like I asked before, Why accept only some of his righteous standards, They are in place only to benefit us.
26.For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27.For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29.And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
I am a lesbian,and to accept that how i feel and what i do is an abomination would be detremental to my state of mind.
If I was a child-rapist, and claimed that "to accept that how i feel and what i do is an abomination would be detremental to my state of mind", would you be impressed?
Homosexuality also equals stupidity. An elementary school level course in sex education is all that's needed for you to learn some basic things like sex is for reproduction. Two men can't reproduce, so what the hell are they doing trying. Just as in nuts and bolts, there is a female shape and a male shape that fit together. Since two males both have outies, they don't go together. A 2 year old can follow this, yet grown homosexuals can't.
17Thus Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the LORD seek out the enemies of David." 18 Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own life. ...
41As soon as the boy had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. He bowed three times, and they kissed each other, and wept with each other; David wept the more.
“You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?”
I get tired of hearing gays claim they're born that way, so it's okay to live a life of sodomy and fornication. That's bull.
There are plenty of other sick sexual perversions, like pedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia, incest, and so on.
Damn people think they can get out of judgment by trying to find loopholes in the bible or elsewhere. Well you can't.

Even fornication between heterosexuals is a sin, so how the hell could fornication between gays not be a sin?

I'm reminded of a woman who told about her hell-like after death experience, where she had these awful beings stuffing excrement and vomit in all of her bodily orifices.
She said while this was happening, she also saw fornicators, adulterers, and HOMOSEXUALS floating in this river of lava screaming in pain. We need more messages like this brought back from the afterlife.
