Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".
A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

The bible doesn't say marriage is between a man and a woman. In fact, the bible doesn't even say much about male homosexuality, and it says nothing about lesbian relationships. And it doesn't even say a lot about marriage at all.
You can take away from the bible that male homosexuality is sinful. It says enough to draw that conclusion. So for those Christians who try to read the Bible as an instruction manual - fair enough.
But it also says slavery is OK, which is why the very religious confederates fought a war to keep slavery.
For actual Christians who profess to follow the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles, accepting homosexuals is quite similar to rejecting slavery.
In both cases, the appeal is to the higher morality of the primary commandments (love God and love your neighbor) instead of trying to justify wickedness against the weak with an appeal to scripture - which is what the Pharisees did and what Jesus condemned.
Never saw someone explain it better than this. Kudos to you!
