Isn't it all about sex for you gays and lesbians?
Rick Brentlinger Answers -
No, its not all about sex. You have a very shallow idea about what gay and lesbian partnerships are all about. Being gay or lesbian is an innate orientation. According to Jesus, its the way we're born, Matthew 19:12.
With very few exceptions, being gay or lesbian is not chosen - its an innate characteristic - as normal as blond hair or blue eyes or left-handedness.
I hope you have the emotional maturity to understand that sex is not the sum total of homosexual partner- ships any more than it is the sum total of heterosexual partnerships.
Intimate relationships, whether we call them marriage or a committed partnership (since gays are not allowed to legally marry in most places), are about emotional and romantic attachment. They are about spiritual, psychological and emotional support. They are about companionship with someone who matches your sexual orientation.

Christianity Today, had
an interesting article about single heterosexuals and sex. Here's a brief quote.
"Indeed, over 90 percent of American adults experience sexual intercourse before marrying. The percentage of evangelicals who do so is not much lower.
In a nationally representative study of young adults, just under 80 percent of unmarried, church- going, conservative Protestants who are currently dating someone are having sex of some sort."
One is almost tempted to reply:
Isn't it all about sex
