There is a huge difference between the word 'definition' and 'tradition'. You need the weaker word to prop up your opposition.
@steve
Someone sold you an old book of mythology reflecting the morality OF THAT TIME. This is a no brainer. That was then, this is now. "Yucky" to you does not give you any fucking right to deny rights to others. LGBT are not out to get you, nor will they eat your babies or barbecue your kittens.
Giving gays the right to marry is not demanding you marry the same sex. Instead of worrying about what others do with consent as adults, MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!
If you are going to claim same sex is wrong, then don't be a half assed bigot, go all the way, do what Isis does, throw them off rooftops. They also base their bigotry on their holy book, an old book too, like yours.
If not, if you value human rights, then pull your head out of your ass and understand humans back then did not have the same morals as the west does today.
"Otherism" is what religions teach. Now while many in every religion like to use that to foster inclusion, it still remains that religion is tribal. I do not see LGBT as "other" much less a danger to my existence.
I don't know how much more blunt I can be on this issue. LGBT are not your enemy, nor are they evil, nor are they defective. If you interpret your bible to imply such, even if you falsely think you have "good intent"..... FUCK YOU.
This isn't the year "0" and we are not a theocracy.
