British Quakers: In 1963, British Quakers published a book "Towards a Quaker View of Sex". It put forth the argument that it was not the gender and sexual orientation of a person that mattered; it was the depth of feeling they have for each other.
"Where there is a genuine tenderness, an openness to responsibility, and the seed of commitment, God is surely not shut out. Can we not say that God can enter any relationship in which there is a measure of selfless love?"2
Coretta Scott King, the wife of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., called on the civil rights community to join in the struggle against homophobia and anti-gay bias in 1998: "Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood."
嘿,沙之舟同学你好! 谢谢到访! 好像圣经中的确没有记录同性婚姻,不过,如今还有多少人真正想按照圣经这八款婚姻模式结婚呢?我看连第一款都难:wives subordinate to their husbands (这不是三从四德里的“出嫁从夫”吗?还有 arranged marriage,包办婚姻),认识的人中没有一个会这样,尽管几十年前还有这样的。总之,社会制度包括婚姻只会朝愈来愈人性化的方向变革发展。
