Hi xaander
It is only the "Old Testament", the jewish section of the bible that condemns homosexuality.
The "New Testament" which is really about the life of Jesus and his message, says nothing about the matter. I fact, the words, "Love your brother
as you do yourself" and "Judge ye not lest ye be judged" give the lie to the so called christians, or should I say the Judaeo Christians. If you
accept these words of Jesus you cannot adhere to the old jewish laws in the old testament. This is the very situation which is splitting the
Anglican/Epispocal church at this very time.
I would say that those that are true christians would be the ones who follow the message of Jesus, not the laws of the jews.
As you said, homosexuality is just as common in the animal kingdom as it is in humans. It is a G.O.D. given gift every bit as much as hetrosexuality
is and for that matter, any other gift one is born with. It is NOT a choice any more than hetrosexuality is.
