If Christianity is supposed to be about what Christ did, then they should be celebrating same-sex relationships as much as he did. There are some good, true Christians who do. There are others who stand on the sidelines with the President. There are others who ignore the gospels and focus on Leviticus, one translation of a passage in Romans, and another in Jude.
