Should Christians accept homosexuality

Christian conservatives have reluctantly accepted that some people are born gay, but nevertheless have made the phrase "homosexual LIFESTYLE" all-pervasive to cast doubt on the fact that some people are born gay. Nevertheless, they accept that homosexuality is an involuntary condition that some persons are born with, but claim that acting upon one's given homosexual nature is a 'sin'. This stigmatizing label does not explain how acting on one's given nature is 'sinful' for some members of the species and 'good' for other members of the species. Not all of the human species is heterosexual but Conservative Christians assume that person must act as though it were. When discussing why consenting homosexual acts are 'sins', Conservative Christians fail to produce any victim of harm. The only explanation they have for why homosexuality is 'sinful' is to cite outdated biblical passages written before modern people understood that homosexuality is natural for some members of the human species.

Some Conservative Christians also attempt to stigmatize homosexuality by making bad analogies - suggesting, for example, that the homosexual condition (tendency) is to homosexual actions as ployamorous tendencies are to the act of bigamy. The better analogy would be to say that homosexual orientation is to homosexual actions as heterosexual orientation is to heterosexual actions. In both cases the orientation does not automatically indicate whether the associated actions are "good" or "evil" until we take into account the intentions of the agent. Just as not all heterosexuxal acts are morally good (eg. rape, paedophelia), neither are all homosexual acts morally good. In either case, the moral status of the act depends upon more than just the biological structure of the act. It depends upon consent, intention, etc. (what modern people call "agency").
