The Bible does not Forbid Same-sex relationships

Introduction

When a country claims “equality for all”, then there should be no discrimination on the basis of genders having same sex relationship. As a libertarian society, every citizen, irrespective of whether he or she is gay or lesbian, should deserve equal rights as everyone else in the society. Love should have no boundaries, when someone is in love they should be able to show it regardless of anyone like it or not. When a person works for living, he or she becomes a contributor towards the economy of the society; hence, he or she should get the same benefits and rights as everyone else.
