Dear friends
Years ago, while I was a student at the University of Arizona College of Law, I had a debate with my classmate on this subject. You might find the discussion interesting and revealing

I found the word 'fahisha' in 415 a little confusing. What are it's different meanings, and also the variants on its meaning. Does it simply mean lewdness, and does that mean unnatural sexual activities, regardless of who the partners are? As opposed to adultery and fornication, which depends on who the partners are? ???

You can thoroughly study the term here, under root Fa-Ha-Shiin
It lists all of the occurrences in al quran, separated by form with grammar info, and lists classical arabic meanings, with the relevant pages from Lane's Lexicon.

I find your evidence hard to come by given you refer to 'conversion' and yet ignore the aftermath of those so-called conversions - or even ignore the stupidity of the methodology involved with these conversions. The methods used as equal to that of England 1000 years ago where people would eat bread and salt over a dead body to remove sins before it would go into the after life.
As for you 'entitlement' my view is that the tax system should be neutral as to whether you're married, single or what have you. Your relationship status shouldn't play role in how much (or how little tax you pay). For those arrangements pertaining to the protections under marriage, one should be allowed to set up a contract with whom ever they so wish in regards to inheritance, bereavement and so forth.
Regarding the state, the state should be neutral on matters of morality where by consenting adults engage in something which both agree to. If those adults wish to have swingers parties then so be it, if they so wish to grow weed and have a bong inhaling party, then so be it. If two men or two women wish to settle down and be a couple, then so be it. The government should have no role in the regulating the private affairs of individuals as so long as there is nothing negative that can cause harm to society outside the 'morality boogieman'.
In short, if I'm not harming anyone, leave me alone. Me having a long term relationship with a guy is hurting no one except your ego driven wet dream of 'moralising the planet' in the name of 'the power of lord jesus christ' (or what any other boogie man name you should to invoke over others).
Edit You invokation of the following
I think those who prefer bestiality, incest, polygamy, child pornography and torturing animals are similarly situated with homosexuals
Really does show out of touch with reality you are. Heck, why not talk about a elephant driving a mini with a pink tutu if you're going to drag in irrelevant side shows into the discussion. It proves nothing. Child pornography is the infringement up on the rights of the child and because they need to be a consenting age, their rights would be violated. Torturing animals, again, their right to 'live' out weighs your right to be a sadistic psychopath. Bestiality because it can't give consent, thus, is still charged but under the mistreatment of animals act/animal abuse act.
Incest is a special topic, as to whether it can be banned after two (or more) have reached consenting age - would be a good discussion; assumine one could impose limits; they could have sex but could not have children due to the rights of the potential child to live a normal life has been taken away. (Edit Normal pertaining to the health of the child, not the relationship status of the parents involved).
Regarding polygamy, for me, its a non-issue. Like I said, it isn't the governments role to regulate the internal activities of consenting adults - since we're talking about the idealised state where peoples relationship status doesn't dictate the level of tax or welfare they receive (assuming there is going to be welfare to begin with), it should be a non-issue.
Edit 2 Regarding the constitution, I believe that it it is the role of the supreme court to enforce the constitution as it is, not as they think it should be. I remember seeing the Massachusetts supreme court claim that because the marriage law doesn't explicitly state 'man and women' it some how means that it (along with the constitution) allows same sex marriage. What ever happened to the understanding of law in two parts; the literal and spirit of the law. If a law doesn't invoke 'man and women' then its pretty obvious that the spirit of the law, when written, was that only men and women were ever to get married in the first place.
In the case of homosexuality, it should have been legalised through the congress/senate/president, just as in New Zealand we have the homosexual reform act which passed through parliament on a conscience vote (MP's were free to vote by their conscience rather than party) in 1986.

Bestiality should be valid. Animals don't give consent because animals DONT HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE CONSENT.
What would be a worse crime than bestiality?
Enslavement perhaps? Is enslavement of animals done with their consent?
Murder perhaps? Is murder of animals done with their consent?
etc, etc, etc.
Every human on Earth has both of those misdeeds in their blood.

Hmm Quran.. Gay. Forbidden. Hellfire. And who is it that God saves on Judgement Day? The Believers.

Interesting, and the Quran says the same about Christians and Jews...oops, but that was earlier on, and the condemnation was said when he moved to Madina, so which one takes precedence? how can a 'timeless and infallible book' say two things in the same book? contradiction?

Citation? Oftentimes the quran speaks about Jews & Christians in a specific context.

Pick up the Quran and refer to the 'unbelievers' - commonly put in brackets and exegesis's as 'Christians, Jews and Pagans'. Its littered right through the book; what I care about isn't the 'sanitised version' but the one which everyone else subscribes to, what the Muslim world believes.

AOA guys
I havent come on the forum for a long time .. just been reading the whole discussion and it seems to have picked up momentum. However, has begun going in another direction.
I think I am directed towards wrestling guys etc because I want a bigger physique, 6 pack etc etc ... It takes a lot of drive to get a perfect physique!

We have discussed this before, there is nothing new to add. Ammar, I suggest you re-read this thread for answers to your dilemma instead of adding bombshells along the same line.
