[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God created man and woman; God created sex.

Only a man and a woman can use their generative organs for sex. What two men and two women do together is not sex. It is an act where the organs of generation/excretion are misused. Also, environmental factors combined with certain qualities of personality lead an individual to inappropriately “sexualize” the healthy and normal affection between persons of the same sex.

[b]The gay “identity” is a modern (post 1700s) cultural creation[/b] centered around the imperfection. God created everything, but the fall of man gave us our tendency towards imperfection and misuse of our nature. We’re all sinners in some way, this is just another way. Straight people sin all the time too.[/quote]

How do you figure that?  Homosexuality and gender non-conforming individuals were known to exist in pre-colonial Americas.  Plato and Aristotle have written about it.  It has been written about and practiced in China, Japan, and India.  Heck, there are (or were, pre-introduction to Christianity) entire cultures where homosexuality was the norm/celebrated, in the South Pacific Islands.[/quote]
Also how could an entire culture(s) exist where homosexuality is the norm? They’d literally cease to exist after a generation. In theory, bisexuality would be the norm there which speaks to another facet of nature—there is no “pure” homosexual. If you put a man and a woman alone in a room for long enough, nature will take over, even if they say they’re not sexually interested in the opposite sex.[/quote]

The one I remember reading about (I forget the name of the tribe), boys are separated from mothers and women in general (who are considered unclean) at a young age, and brought up with men.  At some point, they do get to have sex with women for procreation only (because that's unclean), but they continue to live with men.  There are also others where ritualized homosexuality is practiced until the boy is old enough for heterosexuality, and they they're expected to remain that way.[/quote]
