Reply #18: There are far more warnings about pride than the couple

of Paul's letters, which are *interpreted* as condemnations of homosexuality (I disagree with the interpretation).

But as you say, when you're invested in finding someone to be the "them", so you can be the "us", GLBT seem a handy target.

It's not about tradition or scripture, or what God wants of us. It's about power and belonging. It's less easy to pick on a group for their race, and even to some extent, their gender. Sexual orientation still seems to be up for grabs these days. I'm confident that will change -- eventually.
