Well said Jez, as always!

One more argument I’ve heard is the “my religion tells me not to” from people who are very devout Christians (which is a view I can respect, but disagree with). I read a great rebuttal to that argument here:

TLDR: “There are six verses out of more than 31,000 verses or roughly 0.016 per cent of the text (about homosexuality).

In contrast, the Bible contains more than 2,000 verses about money (and related issues of greed, wealth, loans, and property), and more than 100 specifically on one’s obligation to care for widows.

In other words, monitoring and proscribing human (homo)sexual activity is not a particular concern of the Bible when compared to the overarching demand for justice, economic equality, and the fair treatment of foreigners and strangers.

For certain Christian groups to make this the decisive Christian issue is simply a misreading of biblical values.”
