After having it explained to me many, many times I still fail to see, apart from a few extremely tenuous verses, where the bible condemns homosexuality.

I think that it is just a side agenda that has been adopted by some Catholics and they have tried to justify it with the bible.

Eh, that's not really how it works no offense.

I doubt many catholics now have a "side agenda" about being gay.

Rather past "side agendas" lead into peoples problems now.

 

For example, priests not being able to marry or have sex.

People are against that now, even though it's not in the bible.

 

If anything it's likely do to the politcial ramifications of homosexuality in the past being ingrained into tradition.

In some ways tradition is religions worst enemy... it's like covering your hair in Islam.  Not mandatory at first, something that was done to show religious piety and eventually it evolved into something that had to be done.

 

Fair point Kasz.
