The life of a Harpist

i was talking to a guy after class today. he's a really nice guy, a retired mail-man. he reads everything. somehow or other, the subject of gay marriage came up. i was telling him of how jerry falwell and his sheep like to use the Bible as a reason against homosexuality. they like to quote the passage in Matthew 19 where Jesus says,
4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'[b]? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." but mike pointed out something interesting. later on in that same chapter, it says,
10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
11Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[c]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

..."Some are eunuchs because they were born that way"... let's see, a eunuch back then referred to a man who was sexually impotent with a woman.... isn't there another group of people who are not sexually attracted to women....? here's proof that Jesus accepted gay people and gay marriage.

yay!
