A quick search of Google reveals that DNA testing can
unequivocally determine if a person is Male or Female:
"Many animals, including humans, have a pair of sex
chromosomes, designated X and Y, that determine an
individuals sex. In humans, individuals with XY
chromosomes are male and XX chromosomes are female.
The sex of a human baby is determined by the father
whether they get an X or a Y."
Cited from the last paragraph of:
http://www.realmacaw.com/pages/dna.html
where it is described how a DNA test can easily determine
if a person is Male or Female with a blood test.
On the subject of the Church performing "Gay Marriages"
I would say that the Church should restrict the marriage
ceremony to exclusively XY's marrying XX's.
It is certainly legal for XX's OR XY's to enter into a
variety of legal relationships, including a Legal Partnership
if they so desire. However, I see no reason why "marriage"
shouldn't be legally restricted using DNA testing to the
legal union of XY's with XX's. Tell me I'm wrong?

Apparently here's another bit of the bible (OT and NT) that
is supposedly no longer relevant to today's society."

conclusion that the scriptures, unlike tradition, are silent
on some instances of homosexual activity. Whether they are
right or not (I think they are, but that's not the issue here),
their arguments take scripture as seriously as those with the
orthodox view they've always been taught.
