In essence, then...our discussion appears to be regarding consenting adult behavior. Does everyone agree with this, or are we still picking on same sex marriage?
For the sake of moving things on let's say that we are talking about consenting adult behaviour. Let's also add that we are talking about consenting adult behaviours which don't generally result in permanent or significant physical damage to any of the parties concerned.
On what basis do you think we should restrict or condemn such behaviours? And can you give any non-sex related behaviours that you think should be classified as demanding action against?

I am using Biblical references as evidence.
But are you? Heterosexual oral sex outside of marriage is idolatry (according to you) but once married the same acts are not idolatry.
How does that coem from the bible?

The fact that you wont accept my evidence isn't on me.
I think the problem is that you are picking your evidence to support your preconceived conclusion.....
Phat writes:
Besides, all I am supporting are my beliefs.
So if I said you were picking and choosing your biblical "evidence" to support your personal bigoted beliefs - Where would you suggest I have got it wrong?

You expect me to form my beliefs from human consensus. Thats where you have it wrong. It is not I who pick and choose.
But you obviously are picking and choosing and deciding on the basis of your own personal prejudices. How else could you possibly come to the conclusion that oral sex outside of marriage constitutes "idolatry" but inside of marriage doesn't? Where are you getting this stuff from if not your own prejudices?

My intuition.
Unless your intuition and the mind of God are one and the same we can conclude two things:
1) Your prejudices are unsupported
2) Your prejudices can't really be blamed on God
