Larry,

I agree that love has very little to do with sex.  The point is actually
that if someone is claiming to be a follower of Jesus and they have a
lover (without being married to them) then they are deceiving themselves.

If you make no claim to being a christian then there is no inconsistency
in your life.  

The principle of having sex-change operations is what I was referring
to.  A person is saying that God made a mistake.  They are saying that
they can't be satisfied with who they are but must become another sex
to be happy.  Jesus wants us to accept ourselves the way He made us
and the way He wants to make us.

Homosexuality is along the same principle.  Sure their can be love
between the same sex, but to have it become sexual isn't love anymore
it is lust.  Jesus offers something mor; Jesus wants to be your lover,
to fulfill all your needs, right where you are if you will accept
His love.
