Tell us, what would Jesus do? I have a guess: as with Mary Magdalene, he would save them from stoning, but adjure them from sinning further. Is that realistic? It depends on your view of the tenacity of sexual orientation, which is still controversial. On the other hand, we do not live in a theocracy, and what is not controversial is that, absent a compelling social interest in the behavior, we do not legislate about matters where a religious viewpoint is crucial to the condemnation of the behavior. All the Christians that I know accept the fundamental idea of secularization of the law, in fact.

Now, there is a fundamental mistake in thinking that homosexual marriage would not have a social impact that is worth taking account of before leaping. Tolerance of homosexuality is something that most people are capable of. Acceptance on the same basis as heterosexuality is not. Considering the difficulty of maintaining standards of sexual behavior in respect of promiscuity and infidelity, it is a mistake, I think, to treat the prevalent view of homosexuality as mere bigotry. All that does it sow more moral confusion throughout the land. We should leave the matter to the legislatures, and not tie anything to the faith and credit clause, so that, at least, a societal consensus can evolve on the matter........
