I’ve really enjoyed reading the discussion. I’m not great at arguing theology, and I grew up with the assumption that homosexuality was sin, but gay friends that I have made in the last few years have really affected my opinions. I have two very good friends/colleagues who are in monogamous relationships (not with each other) and have been for over twenty years. The thing that makes these relationships remarkable is not that they are same-sex relationships, but that are beautiful, committed, loving, respectful relationships. Indeed, Cliff and Bill are amazing, lovely people and display such wonderful love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that I simply cannot condemn them or their behavior. It would be ridiculous to do so, and you’d know what I meant if you could meet them.
