Exactly. I think the whole idea of "it's OK to be gay, just don't have gay sex or have thoughts about having gay sex" idea is pretty silly. Why would God create someone with an attraction toward the same sex, but torture them with the idea of acting on their sexual impulses being sinful? It's like God is some sadistic tyrant who enjoys watching people suffer. So God made all these gay people gay but won't allow them to get married, and if they have gay sex he's going to send them to Hell.
Of course, it's a step in the right direction compared to all the homophobes who claim that being gay is a choice and those who do choose to be gay are evil perverts worthy of death. But that's like saying that Ann Coulter is less extreme than Hitler.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
