Jesus so abhorred homosexuality

that He had this to say about it:
...
....
.....

Ok, so he never said anything about it one way or another.

But what about "Traditional marriage between One man and One woman"?

We can easily see that this is a long, long tradition. Just look at King David who had.... at least 8 wives named in the Bible, and probably more.

Ok, bad example. Let's look at King Solomon, who had only...... 700 wives and 300 concubines.

Oh, Oh, but Jesus DID say "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh" - but he apparently never really was talking about Marriage. For as 1 Corinithians said 6 : 16 says "Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, 'The two will become one flesh.'" so it seems that Jesus was talking about the sexual act, and not the "tradition" of Marriage.

All this from a guy that was said to never have married, but instead hung out with 12 pother guys.

Of course, there is that passage in Leviticus, among all the other ridiculous rules that "Christians" consistently ignore. Funny that they would uphold this particular passage while ignoring all the rest.

It seems to me from studying the history of Marriage, that traditionally it was meant to make a woman the "property" of a man. So much for "Traditional Marriage".
