Homosexuality and Evo, Creo, and ID
Evolution doesn't say anything about the morality of homosexuality.
It just acknowledges that homosexual behaviour exists. This is kind of obvious.
It's pretty clear that a literal reading of the Bible (especially the Old Testament) shows it to be against homosexuality.
It's also pretty clear that a literal reading of the Bible is... um... well... it's silly. Ridiculous. Laughable.
Anyone who thinks the passages against homosexuality are valid, but the passages against shellfish and mixing fibres are not is going against a literal reading of the Bible. They are putting their own interpretation on the passages, pulling certain things out of context and not others inconsistently, and their motives for doing so are extremely obvious.
Reading the Bible as a whole, understanding that certain aspects were for a long-dead civilization, and focusing on the morality of the New Testament... well... the Bible's still against homosexuality, but it's much easier to explain away in light of other more general passages.
As far as morality in general goes:
Anyone who is "against homosexuality" in the sense that they don't like it and don't want anything to do with it and they may even find it disgusting... you're perfectly within your rights to feel this way. Some people like it, some don't. It's really not a big deal. No one cares if you get freaked out by snakes either... it's kind of funny to those of us who think snakes are cool and awesome... but no one really cares about your personal psychological issues. We all have our own to deal with.
Anyone who is "against homosexuality" in the sense that they want to stop adults from having sex with each other
for any reason whatsoever... you're evil. Regardless of the basis for your ideas. It can come from the Bible, or your beliefs, or your grand-daddy's dying words. If you want to stop adults from doing something that doesn't hurt anyone and actually spreads love throughout this world... you're evil. You're against Love. And I spit upon your honour.
