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，沙之舟同學你好! 謝謝到訪! 好像聖經中的確沒有記錄同性婚姻，不過，如今還有多少人真正想按照聖經這八款婚姻模式結婚呢？我看連第一款都難：wives subordinate to their husbands (這不是三從四德里的“出嫁從夫”嗎？還有 arranged marriage，包辦婚姻)，認識的人中沒有一個會這樣，儘管幾十年前還有這樣的。總之，社會制度包括婚姻只會朝愈來愈人性化的方向變革發展。
