The researcher explains: It's a form of greeting behavior. Or reconciliation. Possibly food-exchange behavior. It's certainly not sex. Not lesbian sex. Not hot lesbian sex..." And the book, should you want to order it? "Bruce Bagemihl spent 10 years scouring the biological literature for data on alternative sexuality in animals to write 'Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity,' 768 pages about exactly what goes on at "South Park's" Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary."

For young postmoderns the issue with homosexuality is huge, but not for the reasons Christians think. They are not so much trying to defend immorality as they are trying to defend basic human decency. We're thinking about flaming pornographers, and they're thinking about Matthew Shepard. When you criticize the gay right movement, you're criticizing politeness.

Tim Wilkins was once involved in a homosexual lifestyle. Today he is a Christian and has a ministry to persons struggling with homosexuality. In his most recent newsletter, he writes: "Society in general and churches in particular mistakenly believe freedom from homosexuality is marrying, having 2.3 children and a dog in the back yard. A 2001 secular study on the possibility of change shows the depth of this ingrained 'doctrine'. Dr. Robert Spitzer, a Columbia University professor interviewed men and women who said they used to be homosexual; I was one of many he questioned. As beneficial as his study was and as much as I appreciate the visibility it gave to change, his study measured heterosexual function of the former homosexual — again missing the real issue. "But" you ask, "don't homosexuals need to become heterosexuals?" No! Scripture never states nor implies all people must be heterosexual; it does say explicitly, however, that we are to avoid all forms of sexual immorality, which includes homosexuality. With that in mind have we not at times given the impression that homosexuals must "convert" to heterosexuality? Jesus did not say "Go and make [heterosexuals]"; He said, "go and make disciples." "But" you ask, "isn't heterosexuality the opposite of homosexuality?" No! The opposite of homosexuality is holiness! The term "former homosexual" is inadequate if not inappropriate. We mistakenly think a person who has found freedom from same-sex attractions is now heterosexual. The former homosexual man or woman may now experience heterosexual feelings, but heterosexuality should never be his or the churches' goal. Heterosexuality is in many cases, but not all, a byproduct of the homosexual's dealing with the primary issues — a distorted self-image and faulty thinking — both of which Satan uses to "gain control." The church will do well to remember that singleness is not a sin, immorality is. What all this means is that most of churches' advice to the homosexual misses the mark entirely! . . . During my own journey out of homosexuality I made a significant discovery — Jesus Christ is not a means to an end. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. I did not go to Christ to get something else, namely heterosexuality. I went to Christ to get Him! When we learn this truth, we will witness prison doors falling off their hinges and chains disintegrating." (You can visit Tim's website at www.CrossMinistry.org)

Few would fault the clarity of the Orthodox response to the September marriage of Denis Gogolyev and Mikhail Morozev in the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God Chapel in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. The bishops defrocked the priest, bulldozed the church and burned the wreckage. "Father Vladimir Enert, who married the gay couple, committed a sin in doing so," a church spokesman told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. "He desecrated the place. We therefore needed to destroy the chapel." They call it the Orthodox Church for a reason.
