The significance of Plato and Aristotle and their insights
regarding homosexuality for our thinking about “natural law” and “gay marriage.”

Dr.Norm Lund

Christians are routinely vilified as “homophobic” for opposing “gay marriage.” Yet even Thomas Jefferson viewed homosexuality as “the infamous crime against nature” (citing Sir William Blackstone: Commentaries, 1765-69), based not only on the Bible, but also the conclusions of ancient pagan philosophers. What did Plato and Aristotle think about homosexuality, and what can that teach us about “natural law” (as referred to in the Declaration of Independence: “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God”) and a proper civil response to “gay marriage.”

    Hi
    Someone on the Sonlight forum directed me to your website. I am living in Saudi Arabia and she thought you might live here as well. I am in AlKhobar. Are we near each other? I homeschool and have two daughters ages 7 and 10 and would love to find other homeschooling families around.
    Thank you!


  2. Hello Cene:

    Yes, I am here in Khobar :)
