Also, because I can't resist this, the fables you outlined as being the basis for *your* rejection of same-sex relationships are only one part of a complex and contradictory set of prescriptions and proscriptions about sexuality from the bible.
the only examples of same-sex-sex in the bible are negative - and the only allow sexual activity is in the context of a heterosexual marriage........what's so complex and contradictory about that? seems extremely simple and uniform to me

I suggest you read John Boswell's 'Christianity, Homosexuality, and Social Tolerance' as a reference. Christianity has a long history of embracing same sex relations and relationships stretching from its earliest days to the early modern period. The prohibitions against it are either Talumdic (therefore not required for Christians, as per the decision of the Council of Nicea) or apostolic (originating from the writings of people like St. Paul and St. John - thereby not the word of God, but of man).
if you want to make a SCRIPTURAL case for homosexuality, then be my guess. But please leave out the traditions of men, I have no use of them.
