You forgot to sign your comment, Coolguy. As for the religious opinion, here some facts.--[[User:Abcqwe|Nathan]] ([[User talk:Abcqwe|talk]]) 17:20, 22 May 2017 (EDT)
Leviticus 18:22, 20:13.
Romans 1:26-28.
Jude 1:7-8.
In Leviticus, early Jewish law, sex between two man or two women was a sin, and the punishment was death. Death wasn't the punishment for all sins at the time - there are a lot of other punishments mentioned - but death was notable. Yet that Jewish law went away.
Romans explains that it is still a sin. Jude reminds that it is Sodomy, and it is among the worst things doable. Yet there are other facts to consider.
#Christians are supposed to forgive sin, for all have sinned.
#Marriage is not the sin, it's the sex ... and what constitutes the sex is hard to define, because between men there is no real process of making babies. It's typical to consider the attempt a sin. As for the whole thing between female stem cells becoming sperm cells ... it makes things too complicated.
#Sin is not encouraged by any means - it is a shame to sin, and a good man avoids sin and temptation. It's not acceptable, just because it is forgiven.
#A lot of law avoids sin, and many things that are sins (murder, theft, libel, assault, arson) are also illegal. Sex between men happens not to be on this list ... but it can often be counted as rape, or battery, because it tends to have a "dominant" man and a victim.
#Sex usually takes place between married people.
To many of us, it seems like legalizing homosexual marriage is encouraging sin, and that's a bad thing. Many people are opposed to it, but it is to me reasonable to accept homosexual couples who are married but never have sex.
