And that tradition is heteropatriarchal tradition. What we have read before as statements and data about sexual orientation, have been about gender role nonconformity and discrimination. The Sacramento 68 were not even put on trial for marrying two women. Women don't count. Society will allow females to slide since the female gender role is not restrictively femme.
Sexuality is the interrelationship of cultural, psychological, ethical and biological dimensions.
All of us, from birth to death, are sexual beings and our sexuality is an integral part of who and what we are rather than what we do, manifesting itself either positively or negatively. Our sexuality encompasses sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as sexual behavior. This, however, is a necessary process in order for the church to repair itself and evolve toward a healthier identity. Organized religion has not had a history of supporting this integration, even for heterosexual people. The Bible, on the other hand, is very sex positive.
