Provide an argument justifying homosexuality as moral.
Originally posted by @secondsonHow is it immoral? I get that your religious beliefs have you believing it is "sinful". But I am not religious: what is your argument for it being "immoral". I'm not interested in - or, more accurately, I am not affected or persuaded by - your notions of supernatural "law" and "sin". You are perfectly entitled to hold those ideas and perspectives. But, you're talking to an atheist who is interested in the topic of morality. Your notion of "sin" aside, how is homesexual sex - in and of itself - "immoral"?

Originally posted by @secondsonMorality governs interactions between people. If a homosexual relationship is loving, if there is no deceit, if there is no hurt or harm, if there is no endangering negligence, if promises are kept, if there is no coercion, and if there is informed consent, then how is it anything but moral?

It's not freedom to be a slave to immoral behavior.

Wouldn't that be immoral?
I am guessing you will be foreced to say 'no' because, as an atheist, your idea of morality literally can only boil down to a no-harm principle...
