Regarding my article, Gay … But Not Funny, a recent commenter stated:
Churches have every right to state their views on sexual morality. Nevertheless, the question is whether in a pluralistic democracy, should we legislate how people conduct their private interpersonal relationships by criminalizing gay conduct? If so, we must then also make non-biblical divorce and remarriage illegal and prosecute extra-marital sexual behavior.
Legalizing gay marriage is a little different, of course, but the question must be taken outside the conduct of what the religious ideal of marriage is.
Some view any consumption of alcohol a sin. Should this belief dictate that we return to Prohibition or vote on banning its sale?
