Or rather if a man can isolate his feelings of love to: phila, agape, or storg? if yes Then this is not a sin. However if his feelings wander into Eros, then it is a sin.
Okay; so love is fine, but the sex part is basically "eww, icky!" Regardless, if the assertion is that such love can only properly be expressed physically when "sanctified", what's the problem with allowing same-sex couples to marry, get their relationship recognised officially and then express whatever damn feelings they want without offending the followers of a misbegotten mythology? Because let's be honest and grown-up here; it's not some mid-Eastern desert deity with an overactive thyroid that gives a shit is it, really?
I just find all this apparent obsessing over what other people want to do with similar body parts rather less than healthy, quite frankly.
