Against Gay Marriage = Against Homosexuality?

Ah, but it isn’t homosexuality I care about. I oppose all sexual encounters which cannot result in children. Chastity, for me, is an inherent virtue from which humans should deviate as little as possible. I feel the same way about Zoophilia and numerous other sexual desires, and for the same reasons. A life devoted only to God is a life well spent.

To be a homophobe, I would have to fear or hate homosexuals. I do not. I consider their desires pointless and distracting from God, without sanctification the blessed fruit of a marital union (children).

Then thank god I’m an atheist.

I don’t use the word “sin” very often, because the concept isn’t part of my belief system. But if a person is capable of sharing joy and bliss with another person, and yet chooses not to, the word “sin” comes to mind. Many people are celebate for many legitimate reasons, but to glorify chastity as a virtue is inhuman and inhumane.
