[quote=Anonymous]It’s not merely the passages that are explicitly stating that men having relations with other men (or as some might argue—other boys) us a sin.

The other challenge for proponents of the idea that the practice of gay relationships is “sinful” and that God does not bless “gay marriage” is that marriage itself is Biblically described as an institution designed by God to join a man and a woman (male and female) together with him in the covenant of marriage.

So I can get behind “acceptance” that gayness maybe isn’t a sin in the eyes of God due to some mistranslation or differing interpretations …..
But it’s a bit more than a stretch to say that God intended to include same sex couples under the “marriage covenant” since that’s a completely different definition. You can point to any mention in the Bible of marriage that doesn’t specify man and woman, make and female, or husband and wife.
Those words have actual meaning—despite what the current trends attempting to redefine them would suggest.
