		<description>Morality, when applied to the homosexual condition, for me becomes complicated because it has become subject to relativism. That being said, we as humans will have a difficult time categorizing whether a certain act is moral or immoral simply because morality has become subjective. If a certain action fits my personal ideals and belief system, then it is acceptable and moral...at least to my own sense of judgment.

It is true that only God can pass absolute judgment on each and every act we have done in our lives, both good or bad, because He is the absolute measure of morality. He cannot err in His judgment because He sees everything and He knows everything.

But there are certain acts that are always evil and &quot;immoral&quot; regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.  Murder is always evil.  It is a crime and it is always subject to punishment.

But why is it that when it comes to homosexuality, the line between what is moral and immoral seems blurred?  Maybe because morality has become subjective and relative in the gay community.  What is perceived as wrong by the society in general is not the way it looks from the GLBT point of view.

Personally, I believe that a person with same-sex attraction who does NOT act upon it is not immoral.

But the act of engaging in homosexual sex, I deeply believe, is IMMORAL.

Please note I am referring to the act and not the person.

So I guess the bottomline here is to delineate the act from the doer of the act.</description>
