2 Samuel 1:26
‘I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan. Your love was more dear to me than the love of a woman!’

Awk—ward! To his case at least!

PS. Funnily enough, the Bible contradicts itself in a remarkable number of places for a truly divinely-dictated and to-be-taken-literally “science” textbook don’t it?

PPS> Wonder what Gipsons stance on banning shellfish, multi-material clothing and selling daughters into slavery is? Wonder if he’s read this :

It can’t? Says who and with what evidence?

OTOH, why not look at this survey :

http://theconversation.com/kids-from-same-sex-families-fare-as-well-as-peers-or-better-28803

.. research my colleagues and I (That authors – ed) published in the journal BMC Public Health shows this isn’t the case.

In fact, we found children in same-sex families scored better on a number of key measures of physical health and social well-being than kids from the general population. …(Snip) .. Our findings support and strengthen the existing international research undertaken with smaller sample sizes.

Oh yeah, because the facts actually contradict Wiktoria completely. Well, almost so, children adopted by gay couples do have one obstacle with that being the remnant and fast decaying homophobia of the handful of hateful dropkicks* still sticking around – but society is already adjusting and making the homophobes look about as popular as the anti-interracial marriage bigots already are.

* My first choice of word there was the colloquial usage of “dinosaur” and then my second thought was to go with ‘dodo” but neither usage is really appropriate or fair to the marvellous creatures those respective extinct species were. So I went for an ockerism that better sums up those losers although without the emphasis on how the bigots too are going extinct fortunately at a very remarkably rapid (if still not quick enough!) rate.

Actually, levels of abuse (on one hand) and measures of success (on the other) are lower and higher, respectively, in same sex parent adoptions in both non human animals and humans, when adoption is defined pragmatically. So, no, you are really wrong.

Where do I report brides who I suspect of not being virgins, so that they can be stoned to death? Deuteronomy 22.20-21 is pretty clear on this. Also, I understand that many Mississippi police departments and hospitals may actually provide help and treatment to rape victims, instead of stoning them to death as prescribed by Deut. 22:23-24. Please bring an end to this un-Biblical treatment of rape victims, and kill them as God wants.
