In connection please see Genesis 19:5-6, Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13, Judges 19:23-26, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Timothy 1:10, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, & Jude 7. These are the only biblical passages that deal with homosexuality specifically and, I submit, should not be ignored. Some people want the court to intepret Scriptural generalities, such as “God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16) as justification to ignore what His words says specifically about nearly anything that they want inserted in their agendas de jour. These are attempted usurpations designed to establish a lawful basis for behavior that’s part and parcel of the hedonism that characterized the 2,200 years with which these passages dealt. Scriptural generalities should not be construed as contradictions of Scriptural specifics. E.G. That “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16) does not contradict what He’s said about the subject of illicit sexual behavior – of the homosexual variety or otherwise. The courts need to provide us with legal authority that’s based on a moral order, nothing less, and since the majority of Californians want that view reflected in the state’s constitution I submit that they should not have the court stand in their way.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
