There are a very few references that are used by some Christians in an
attempt to brand gay people as some sort of supersinners.  This has gone
so far as to lead some very radical rightwing Christians to deny human
rights to gay people, and even led some to say that gay people deserve
death or worse.  Actually, the artical seems to have been written to show
that at least some of these references probabally do not mean anything
of the sort.  If you know of many other verses, send them out to the net,
so that others will have the oppurtunity to debunk them also.

As a Christian, you are limited to using the New Testement (unless you
are one of those rare Christians who follows the whole of the Law).
Otherwise, come on down to your local MCC and then tell us that gays
cannot be Christians.

Sincerely,
