I'm not sure, Lee, whether you are projecting your own feelings or 
what you assume the feelings of others will be; either way it doesn't
matter that much. Either way, what I am about to say is directed more
at the subject in general, than it is at you personally. I can't and
won't deny you your opinion whatever it may be.

First and foremost I am here to tell you that the 'God Hates Fags'
crowd is absolutely 100% wrong. The Bible and especially the New
Testament back me up on that; God loves fags, though there are some
indications that God isn't too fond of faggotry.  But then God isn't
all that fond of Heterosexuals either. The Bible is filled with
endless admonitions against a wide range of very likely and very
popular heterosexual behavior, and frequently recommends death as the
appropriate punishment for such behavior. 

Funny how those who 'hate fags' always manage to give a
nudge-nudge-wink-wink when it comes to their own (and others) immoral
heterosexual behavior. 

So, if God hates fags, then he must also hate a substantial majority
of high school and college students because they are doing things that
God allegedly hates too. God must also hate a majority of those who
get divorced since that seem to be a crime and is often accompanied by
adultery which is definitely a hateful thing. 

Unfortunately (sarcasm) our secular society is not ruled by what God
hates. It is ruled by reason and logic. Logically society must decide
at what age someone is capable of informed consent. Generally that age
is 16. Though in most of the USA, 16 and 17 year olds can have sex
with each other, but 18 and above can only have sex with 18 and above. 

That is a collective view of society. After the legal age of consent,
it is not up to legal society to judge the moral implications. That is
up to the individual, and evidence indicates that a majority of people
don't believe that sex before marriage is wrong. 

As to Dumbledore, whom God surely loves, how do you know he didn't
lead a celibate life? You don't. And while we are on the subject,
wouldn't it be preferable that everyone lead a fully and completely
celibate life up until they were married? I guess some might think so,
but I would not be one of them. 

For what it's worth, and nothing personal.
