The reason that this is a big deal at this time is because it's in the news, and states are trying to say that it's ok for same sex marriages, and some countries are trying to make it a hate crime to say that homosexuality is a sin against God. Now, if we're talking about divorce, or drunkeness, or adultery, or fornication; then we can and will talk about those subjects too. But, right now, Denny is bringing out this issue because it is an issue. Thus, we're talking about it. Also, do you see the concern that Pastors would have over this? especially if it becomes a hate crime to speak against homosexuality? when it's taught in the Bible...the same Bible that we are called to preach? commanded by God to preach and teach? David Sue and Cate,

WHERE do you live? It is the opposite here in Minnesota. My church has a huge homeschooling group. I myself was homeschooled (one of the first in the state back then). The church is where it's at, the secular world doesn't particularly care for it. “Oh, and I should state that homeschooling is spreading in spite of the Church and not because of the Church or its pastors.”

It does not relate to the post which is about same sex marriage. My comments are only in the context of Canadian hate crime legislation. That's it. I don't want to derail this so I'll bow out.

The OT classifies homosexuality with anyone who gathers wood on the sabbath. No matter what, I still don't think that one should post in public something inciting the idea of death. A neighbour of mine, my age, kids went to school together, was found dead in the park near me a few days ago. Call me sensitive. What woman has not been attacked physically at some point in her life simply for "being there." I just don't find this funny.
