(followup to Charley Wingate's message)

Wingate says the Bible is clear (in prohibiting homosexual behavior for
Christians).  OH YEAH??

In a (hopefully) few days I'll post a summary of analyses of Biblical
texts (those listed by Don Caprio in his fairly recent posting) that
traditionally (actually, mainly in the 20th century) have been con-
strued to justify Christian homophobia: the analyses are John Boswell's
as they appear in his book CHRISTIANITY, SOCIAL TOLERANCE & HOMOSEX-
UALITY.

Complacent & homophobic Christians, watch out!!!  See you in a few days!
