It’s like comparing borrowing, swindling and stealing, all involve money coming out of some one’s pocket but that doesn’t mean all actions are on the same level. While each action may seem black and white they are actually rather complex issues that have overlapping nuances.

once again, couldn't agree more. my point is that the arguments in this thread, by virtue of of the logic employed, do not select criteria from hetero marriage that distinguish homosexuality from incest and polygamy. of course the 4 circumstances aren't identical... but you cannot discern that from the criteria being discussed.
