The Church is entitled to their own beliefs, but now it seems
they want to impose their religious beliefs on all 'non-believers'

Homosexual lifestyle: NCCS commends Govt on
taking bold stand
(c) We are aware that the proposed amendment to delete section 377
PC but on the other hand retaining section 377A PC may be
controversial in some quarters. Nevertheless, we consider
homosexual acts to be sinful, abhorrent and deviant, whether
consensual or not. The NCCS commends the Government on
taking a clear, unequivocal and bold stand of neither encouraging
nor endorsing a homosexual lifestyle and opposing the presentation
of the same as part of a mainstream way of life. At the same time,
we do not condemn homosexuals as the Bible calls us to hate the sin
but love the sinner. Given that section 377A PC
criminalises homosexuality whether done private or publicly,
we are of the view that a similar prohibition ought to be
enacted in respect of lesbianism, considering that
lesbianism (like homosexuality) is also abhorrent and deviant, whether
consensual or not.'
