have to let them marry to enforce that rule, right? OK, chaste until they
move to Vermont and get a civil union) etc.) in the category of "child
molestation" or "lefthandedness" in terms of being against God's will?"
A good statement of the question -- or issue. I'd add "adult," "long-term"
and "loving" to the necessary qualifications you list.
You mention that you have not yet taken a personal position on this. I hope
you will look at at least some of the materials and links on the subject on
my website (page 2, section 10). Both sides are represented fairly, I think.
I found the debate between Tony Compolo, whom I greatly respect, and his
good wife particularly instructive.
