Advot of this Si claim that the var Bible passag that prohib homosexualy (e. G., Levic 18:22; Romans 1:27; 1 Corthians 6:9–11) do not apply to morn gay relatnships. They argue that the biblil thors were referrg to ancient sexual practic—or nonnsensual enunters—and not the lovg, monogamo, homosexual relatnships of today.

E., there is such a thg as a gay person—that gayns scrib who someone sentially is), their theology no way allows for an unrstandg of why homosexualy, even at the level of sire, is sful and needg the grace of repentance.
