Homosexuals can't marry; therefore, sex between two men is always a sin. If a gay man chose to abstain from sex then he would not be sinning. I think this is the stance of both the Catholic and Mormon Churches.I used the term santified marriage for a reason. to have one's marriage 'santified' means to have God recognise or approve the civil union.
If two men legally marry then are they still sinning when they have sex?
In order for God to approve the civil union must follow the model provided by god in the bible.
That said all other 'marriages' (if they do not follow the picture of marriage as outlined in scripture) are not santified by God. Which again is the only avenue in which a sexual relationship (thought or Deed) is not a sin.
Again a 'homosexual man' who does not have a sexual attraction toward members of the same sex is A-sexual. There is nothing wrong with being an a-Sexual according to Christ.
(He refered to them as eunics)
The only sin is to be sexually active (In heart or deed) outside of a santified marriage. same sex, different sex it is all the same sin, and demands the same attonement.
