The Reason Homosexuality Is Condemned

The reason for the biblical prohibitions [on homosexual behavior] is the same reason why modern loving homosexual partnerships must also be condemned, namely that they are incompatible with God's created order (heterosexual monogamy).  And since that order was established by creation, not culture, its validity is both permanent and universal.  There can be no "liberation" from God's created norms; true liberation is found only in accepting them.
