The [[Apostle Paul]] wrote in the [[book of Romans]], "For this reason [[God]] gave them over to degrading passions; for their [[lesbianism|women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural]], and in the same way also the [[homosexuality|men abandoned the natural function of the woman]] and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error." (Romans 1:26-27).

{{Cquote|And - oh heck, I'll admit it - aesthetics have value, too! As a woman, I may not be as focused on looks as men are predisposed to be, but I sure am tired of seeing so many queer ladies out there who are way past 200 pounds. Way, way past. Sorry, but no amount of "fat acceptance" is going to make that a pleasant sight - gay, straight, butch, femme, male or female.<ref>http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/05/obesity_and_les.html</ref>}}
