Obviously I'm happy to sign a petition against the Ugandan Anti-Gay legislation, but I can't help thinking that Andy started his thread as an attempt (failed) to establish his credentials as a non-homophobe. 

Whilst I don't regard myself as a homophobe anyway, Martin - your suggestion that this is anything other than an appeal to ensure that an utterly atrocious piece of legislation is defeated, if not beaten by Parliamentary time-out, is typical of your attempts to tell me what I believe.

I am not even going to start to debate the rest of your post, save to point out that the Levitical code is of minimal importance in most Christians' arguments against the current attitude to homosexuality: even the staunch supporters of Anglican Mainstream and other such groups have left that far behind them in the development their arguments.


ecu, as a Christian and as someone who believes that the death penalty has no validity at all, I started the thread in order to highlight the fact that human beings were being threatened with death for being human.  We can go into the rights and wrongs of homosexual relationships and SS intercourse elsewhere: whatever those might be, this is NOT the way to deal with it.
