Tush, Mr. Smith. 

No Christian has been granted the license to read the Bible for himself or herself and interpret it as he/she sees fit. The Bible is rightly interpreted within the context of the Church's Tradition. Protestants, who believe that they are individually granted the imprimatur to interpret the Holy Scriptures according to their own lights, are in grave error. The whole counsel of God, found in the Bible and inthe rest of Sacred Tradition, does not & never can support the perversion of matrimony that is now called "gay marriage". There is no cherry-picking involved here.

Furthermore, you presume a lot when you accuse me of having been raised with homophobia. I have never been afraid of people who claim to be homosexual. Therefore, I am not now, nor have I ever been "homophobic", despite your accusation. God does not create gays; "gays" decide for themselves to indulge their own lusts. Any sexual sin that is committed by gay people is their own responsibility, not God's
