What’s wrong with two men (or two women) in a loving, sexual and monogamous relationship?

I was reading Leslie Lung’s book Freedom Of Choice when the answer to this question occurred to me. It was asked at the CANA forum sessions, and it was asked on this blog comments, word for word.

God made man in the image of himself… male and female he created them

In the first chapter of the first book of the Bible, God made man in the image of himself… male and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and conquer it.” (Gen 1:27) That’s the very first commandment that God gives to man.
