I just read an article where Jimmy Carter, a Southern Baptist, claims Jesus Christ would support gay marriage. He basically states homosexual unions are about love and they do no harm to society.
My question is how in the world was this guy voted president? How can we as a society ignore all the evidence that points to a damaging effect that embracing homosexuality has on a society? Not only disease driven by promiscuity but a breakdown of family values on a society that have real costs associated with it. Look at the police budgets of any developed country that embraces homosexuality and abortion and they are much more that Catholic countries where these are not permitted. As societies values diminish there is a direct increase in cost to maintain peace.
Furthermore, every Christian should take the "homosexual effect" seriously, just as God made an example of a society in the Old testament to the scathing rebuke of homosexuals by St. Paul. This "homosexual effect" is when homosexuality departs from being a perversion to a minor abnormality and then progresses to something that is to be celebrated. The impetus behind this transformation is that since homosexuality is such a serious sin the natural reaction to people who practice it is to require CONSTANT affirmation in order to keep their conscience at bay. Before society embraces homosexuality gays must "stay in the closet" which acts as a natural limit to all but the most perverted individuals. However, as certain segments embrace homosexuality these create centers where homosexuals can congregate, thus keeping their conscience more of less under control. This is apparent in the US in the 70's in San Francisco. Of course the necessity of affirmation drives homosexuals to continue to promote their cause, thus allowing more individuals to openly embrace their unwanted desires. This snow ball effect continues even further as homosexuals grow in influence in secular public institutions and thus are able to use their position to indoctrinate children.
Interestingly, history has shown us none of the nations, such as the Greeks or the Romans, that have embraced homosexuality have remained intact, nor shall we. Just like the aforementioned the cost of keeping a corrupt society will become too much and we will fail or be replaced by nations that reproduce. This is why homosexual nations never remain intact.
