Re: Here we goooooo!!!!!!!
i know that there are a LOT of straight people that participate in anal and oral sex. A LOT. should these people be forbidden from marriage because they might get "straight bowel syndrome"?
the only potential reason for increased risk of syphilis is the lack of condom use. but then while syphilis was very scary historically, it's now less serious than a uti. it's a simple bacterial infection very easily cured.
and i too love how even fundies think lesbians are less disgusting. it should quickly be clear that this anti-gay is symptomatic more of the fear that some man will be made like a woman than that anyone is having sex with his own gender. even paul thought that. it was worse that a man be feminine than anything else.
*edit*
also. is it illegal for people with aids to get married? how about people with other communicative diseases?
what does the potential for causing harm have to do with marriage? men tend to get angry and beat their wives. should they be forbidden also? how about abusive women?
besides. you do know that normal ordinary sex can and does injure women, right? especially with inattentive husbands... like the kind who believe in only vaginal intercourse for the purpose of children. they tend to not understand foreplay.

Re: Here we goooooo!!!!!!!
it's probably a sin to have a sex change since god made you exactly how he wanted you or something, but according to faith, as long as someone looks lke they are part of a normal heterosexual relationship, her sensibilities aren't offended and it's thus not a sin. but, being that faith is not the person who defines sin (despite her behavior if not claims to the contrary), i'd have to say it's more of a software problem. though clearly, if the act of anal sex is the problem, then it is a hardware problem. specifically, it appears that the problem is the lack of a vagina that must be tamed.
of course, certain people have also stated concerns related to the ability or inability to have children. people who have had sex changes cannot have children.
i'd have to say. since god made a specific command for the jews to number as the stars, it might be a sin for a jew to have a sex change. but it would probably not be a sin for a jew (who is not a priest) to be gay as long as he or she also has children. however, god has made no such numbering command to the gentiles.
but there is still the whole body is a temple thing. but then also all plastic surgery wold have to be a sin. also, piercings, tattoos, hair dye, perms, makeup, and so forth.
but that is just my opinion based on literal understanding.

Re: Here we goooooo!!!!!!!
Bacterial vaginosis is apparently more common in lesbians than in straight women, but it's the only STD like that. If it's actually even an STD.
bacterial vaginosis, fungal vaginosis, and urinary tract infections are vaguely associated with sex. i had a yeast infection that wouldn't go away for six months of constant treatment a whole year before i ever had sex. sex can change the ph of the vaginal environment and can introduce foreign strains of fungus and bacteria. also, sex can irritate or introduce forein substances or dirt or what have you to the urethra with all the friction leading to utis. they can be sexually related, but it's most certainly not necessary.
because of the presence of two vaginas and two vaginal environments with, presumably, different strains of bacteria and fungus, there could, i imagine, be a higher tendency for transfer and cross-infection of the natural flora and fauna in lesbian couples. however, this is hardly a serious issue unless untreated. it's irritating, but not life or health threatening.

Re: Here we goooooo!!!!!!!
i quite agree.
but i think there is a difference between a sex change and orthopedic shoes.
So, if God made me with a heart defect, it would be a sin to repair that surgically, too.
in as much as it seems to be a sin to abort a fetus that will not develop correctly and most likely will die before too long.
i have a coworker who (at least a month ago) is pregnant. the fetus has no legs and is missing a heart valve. her doctor says that the incresed stress of growth will kill it before she's even due. but her busband is very religious and says 'we don't play god'. i wonder how much god playing radiation treatment for cancer is?
i don't want this to get dragged into that, it's just the same general idea. changing what happens "naturally". and why so little of christian proscribtions actually convince me.

Re: sexual minorities
using existing law which allowed for the marriage of a minor if a pregnancy was involved (the assumption was usually that it would be a guy that had impregnated a girl).
cause clearly it's okay for a guy to fuck a little girl and get her pregnant, but not the other way around.
what the hell is wrong with people?
