Modernistic Homosexual Interpretations

The religious scriptures forbidding homosexuality were written in what was still a highly rustic milieu. Therefore they ought to have no hold on the present, at least as regards sexuality. When there is, in Bertrand Russell's famous words, "a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men," little in the way of moral progress can be achieved. Opposition to homosexuality, in whatever form it appears, indicates not so much a lower intelligence in the individual but participation in a consensus of opinion which represents a lower order of intelligence attained by civilized man. Let's hope a wiser, kinder, and more humane consensus will prevail.
