How do you know this?No. You will never find two men who want to marry each other who haven't already had sex.

Jesus told us not to have sex before we married and not to have sex with anyone we weren't married to. Homosexuals are people who disobeyed this command.
I think the reason for this is that you'll find no disagreement that a heterosexual couple having premarital sex is a sin. Where there is agreement there is no debate. I believe you'd be hard pressed to name any other sin in scripture, where the line has become as blurred as it is between the secular world and the church, as it is with the sin of homosexuality. Thus the long winded posts. Where there is disagreement there is debate.As are many, many, many heterosexual people. Where's the page after page of angry rants directed at them? Their sin is not less, yet it gets virtually ignored.
Yet we don't have long winded posts going on and on about how these people are wrong, and pointing out seven hundred different ways they're evil and sinful. Why is that?
I'd suggest there is a disproportionate amount of effort and hysteria over one specific sin, to the exclusion of many other more common sins. I'd further suggest that this single overrepresented sin is conveniently one that most of its opponents have no risk of falling to.

Is divorce a sin? sorry Sister, I know divorce is not funny, it destroys many families but I couldn't resist. Good point.(emphasis mine)
Except for divorce. As a matter of fact, when it comes to divorce, many in the church rush to assert that there is no reason why divorced people should consider themselves in any way "sinners"... no matter the cause. Divorce has done far more to destroy families than any "homosexual agenda". I wouldn't be at all surprised if some come on to debate this very post that divorce should even be considered a sin.
The chair for you!!!Is divorce a sin? sorry Sister, I know divorce is not funny, it destroys many families but I couldn't resist. Good point.

Jesus also told us to not swear oaths (Matthew 5:34-37), to wash other people's feet (John 13:14), and to not hoard money or valuables (Matthew 6:19-21). I'd imagine that a number of people on this forum have failed to obey at least one of these commands. I know I have. Yet we don't have long winded posts going on and on about how these people are wrong, and pointing out seven hundred different ways they're evil and sinful. Why is that?

Out of curiosity, what is your motivation for pushing this point? Essentially, you're asserting that you will never find a person engaging in sin X who has never engaged in sin X.
We've been over this before. Your argument is flawed.Homosexuality is a sin. I am trying to make people understand this.
Point 1: People aren't supposed to have sex until they marry.
Point 2: No two men would want to marry unless they were already having sex. The same cannot be said about heterosexual relationships.

Everyone on this board understands that. Every adult in the United States is well aware of what the Bible says. Ditto for Europe. Whether they choose to follow that commandment or not will vary wildly; but don't pretend you are performing some service to inform us all of something we're as aware of as you are.
Again, nobody is disputing the Biblical accuracy of this. Repeating it over and over is as patronizing as having someone in the passenger seat remind you at every intersection what a red light means.
Yes it can. The vast majority of relationships (both straight and gay) involve pre-marital sex. Heterosexuals do NOT get to claim the high ground here; ten minutes of channel surfing on television will make it very clear that heterosexual sex outside of marriage is as rampant as anything else.
In any case, the point is irrelevant (as well as laughably ill informed). The sin of premarital sex is not somehow mitigated by the orientation of its practitioners. Likewise but separately, the sin of homosexuality is not mitigated by the state of the relationship between those involved. There may be overlap, but sin is sin.
