Christian Activists in Britain Protest New Gay Rights Law

I think it is difficult to define the term "good" for everyone. For the Christian, what God tells us is good in the Bible, is the absolute.

If we address the issue solely from a social perspective, same sex unions are debatable. There are some cases where injustice does occur and these need to be rectified. For instance, the partner of a dying person in a homosexual relationship can be denied access by a hostile family.

Where inequities do occur, I support legislative change. I do not believe that giving the status of marriage to homosexual couples is the solution.

Whenever society uses legislative means to change the boundaries, other consequences follow. What today is meant to address individual hardship, tomorrow becomes an accepted and equal alternative.

Homosexual behaviour in animals shows that it is very rare and not normal.

When homosexual behaviour occurs in animals there is a purpose which is not the purpose ever proposed by human homosexuals: subordination, adolescent development, captivity.

Other mammalian species don't get accused of deciding to choose to engage in sinful behaviour do they?

And we don't accuse animals of being promiscuous ... it is not a conscious choice for them, but it is for us.

Hi wil,

In the UK I don't think the 3 main political parties are looking to repeal this new law (obviously not the one that brought it to the statute book!); there isn't (I don't believe) widespread opposition to it.

I beg your pardon, what exactly do you mean by this?
I'm eagerly awaiting your explanation because if it's the same as the conclusion I've drawn from it, I have some HUGE objections to raise...but not for a few days, as that's probably how long it will take me to calm down.

Calmed down yet?

Most homosexual people I have encountered would argue in favour of their psychological/emotional orientation, rather than their sexual activity serving some specific purpose, as it appears to in the animal kingdom.

The whole animal argument is moot however, because most homosexual people would not use animal behaviour to support other practices such as promiscuity or aggression.

Maybe that's because other mammalian species aren't with sin. They are not fallen. They don't need redemption back to the position and status they originally had within God's creation. They didn't disobey God to begin with...
