And a conservative response from a pastor-friend:

~~~

I am again surprised that God’s creation mandate so clearly given in Genesis of one man and one woman for companionship, pleasure and procreation, in which together a couple display the glory of God, in whose image they are created, could ever be construed to include sexual relations between two men or two women.

It seems to me, that like many other things in the world today, homosexuality came after the fall, and was never intended by God in His perfect design. Thank God that Jesus came to restore all things, and this includes our broken sexuality.
