QOTD: are celibate same-sex relationships sinful?
Alan Chambers of the “ex-gay” organisation Exodus says that “sexless committed relationships between members of the same gender” are sinful, and that this is a “fairly cut and dry biblical position on this issue”. He cites the example of:
…a Christian lesbian who believes that homosexual behavior is sinful, but holds no hope of ever experiencing heterosexuality. The thought of living a single life was too much for her to bear and so she developed a committed non-sexual relationship with another woman. They held a commitment ceremony, bought a house together, combined their finances and are trying to live happily ever after. They live in separate bedrooms, but in every other sense of the word, they are partners. “What’s wrong with that?” my friend asked. Everything.
Thoughts?
