Trapped put it very well as is quoted again below. Sin is a very basic idea in the Bible, and therefore why we need The Savior!

Put some spiritual lenses on and look at the creation of man and woman from God's eyes. Remember, God took woman FROM man. They are part of the same whole. And when they come together again in marriage and in sex, they complete the whole as God designed it. God created it and called it "good". But then humankind comes along and takes two halves that were never meant to be together, never part of the design, never called "good" but is actually called a serious sin in God's eyes, and tries to say that the action of coming together in that way is laudable and holy and approved and blessed by God.

But gay sex between married gay couples is not sin.
And God, in the Bible, is not against getting drunk. And I suppose you'd throw the first stone.
And Trapped, your posts are great, and well thought out, but wrong in so many places.
I won't belabor them, but just one : The idea that we're all made in God's image, so we're all equal. Not only have we humans not practiced that, but neither does God. Example : God's chosen people, the equal Israelite's, and then all the rest of unequal image bearers.
And Sons to Glory. As far as I tell in the Bible, God has never had a perfect creation. He said it was "good," but not "perfect." And it was neither.
