Bible Answer:
What is important is what God thinks!
Yes, this kind of thing is nothing, nothing new!
Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Oh, every generation, thinks that they have discovered something new and bold, while in reality it is just old “sin, and rebellion,” revisited!
Biologists have learned a little secret in helping them see what remains for the most part “unseen.”
Bacteria, almost colorless, does not yield itself to examination. But ways and means have been found to expose them, it is called a “stain.”
When a Biologist looks at a glass slide of bacterium, light is his only means of hoping to see what is on that slide. If he sees nothing may he assume that nothing is there?
No, for it is teaming with life.
Over the years, it has been discovered, that if a stain would be applied to the slide, wonders could be seen. And it was, bacterium in abundance, could now be seen and cataloged.
Sometimes we need a stain, a dye as it were to make some things more visible, so let's apply some.
The stain, of the blood of Christ, and His precious word.

Here is what Jesus Christ, the Author of Christianity has to say!
Matthew 7:21,23 KJV
21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
Well OK, just what is the will of God in heaven?
Leviticus 20:7 KJV
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
Matthew 5:20 KJV (Matthew 23:)
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
I Peter 1:15,16 KJV
15 But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Hebrews 12:14 KJV
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
What does God think of the Rainbow Coalition?
Romans 1:28 KJV
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate* mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
*Reprobate-Greek-Adokimos (Ad-ok-ee-mos):Unapproved, i.e. rejected, worthless, castaway, rejected, reprobate.
Romans 1:24-32 NLT
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator Himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.
29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.
30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.
31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy.
32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
I Corinthians 6:9,10 NLT
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
I Timothy 1:8-11 NLT
8 We know that the law is good when used correctly.
9 For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders.
10 The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching
11 that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.
Jude 5-7 KJV
5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later He destroyed those who did not remain faithful.
6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment.
7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as
a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.
Yes, anyone may claim to be something, that they are not, but as any thinking person knows only too well, “it doesn't necessarily make it so!”
Thank God, there is Good News!
Romans 10:13 KJV
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Proverbs 28:13 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
I John 1:9,10 KJV
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
John 3:14-21 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only Begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
