It would help the case of religious people if they could make a rational argument for the immorality of gay sex. But they can't do that. That's why it's bigoted.
It would be like if I said "God really hates women who wear pink pants all the time, this behavior should be outlawed, it's immoral." Even if I could point to ancient writings that seem to state this, it's not enough by a longshot. How does anyone know if these are actually the writings inspired by god? Would it necessarily matter? Does might make right?
Just because a being apparently has the power to create the universe, this doesn't mean it's any more moral than you or me, just because it claims to be. Certainly with people, power and control doesn't make us more moral.
I find it rather silly when some in the Fox News crowd say "It's intolerant to not tolerate our intolerance!" Well you aren't tolerating our intolerance of your intolerance lol.
We could go in circles for weeks if you like. But really we don't have to tolerate intolerance. We have science that backs up the claim that being gay is natural. You have the writings of poorly educated desert dwellers that lived thousands of years ago.
