Cack (and anyone else who wants to answer), I have a serious question for you. I'm not trying to make a point about homosexuality, nor pass judgement. I'm interested in how you and others deal with one aspect of the situation that I'm not qualified to address. I'm not at all religious, and though my values are often quite similar to those who are, I'm not bound by any dogma or religious doctrine. For those who are religious, and I believe you've mentioned you're Catholic IIRC, how do you reconcile your religious beliefs with acceptance of homosexuality? I grew up in a religious family and am rather familiar with Biblical and Christian teachings, and am aware that the Bible and most traditional Christian faiths clearly denounce homosexuality as a sin. I fully understand the concept of hate the sin, love the sinner, and have no doubt you love your sister (I love my gay family members too), but how do you or any of the other religious folks here reconcile the Bible's position on homosexuality with an acceptance of it? Again, I stress that I am NOT trying to ask a loaded question or bait anyone into a fight here. I'm genuinely curious.
