Not acceptable according to scripture..I don't claim to be religious..I just love the Lord.
Romans 1 "21
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other"™s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
What about those biblical scholars who argue that David was gay? And the idea that finding otherness through marriage is the closest you can get to God as you are completely giving yourself to another person as he did with us through his son, and its not for one to judge whether that otherness should be found with a man or a woman?

Biblical scholars? ( More like an idiot)...It wasn't aBiblical Scholar,had to be a homo advocate,man is forever trying to change whatGod said to accommodate theirown agenda.
David was not gay! Neither was Jesus, as some say, God hates sin, and homosexuality is a sin. It's not about our religion, it's in God's word. Who are we to change His word. We have to be very careful about changing His word, God was very specificabout How He was going to deal with thosewho changeHis word.
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Lev.20:13
Don't go by what bible scholars say, go by what God says..

I would find other Bible scholars if I were you. I would find some that will be honest and tell you that the below verses indicate that homosexuality will send you to hell.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

C7...James, inspired of God didn't have a problem with being Religious. Mind telling us why you do?
interesting stuff...we were discussin it in my ethics class the other day and i thought id see what people had to say...one of the things we talked about was how careful one must be in reading the bible and trusting it word for word because the original scripture was written in hebrew on tablets and has been translated over and over again and had pieces of tablet which were broken and lost over the years...so, as the bible has progresses over the years it has become more and more post modern
we also learned that most classic thinkers (aquinas and barth) seemed to be against homosexuality, however, many contemporary scholars believe that homosexuality has been labeled as sinful due to people's homophobia and labeling of homosexuality as a "tragic condition"
