WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Does ‘Love Is Love’ Justify All Sexual Relationships?
Readers of a certain age will recall rock artist/drag queen Boy George saying “All love is good love.” Same-sex marriage advocates have long had their own version, saying “love is love.” Both sayings mean the same thing – when it comes to love, any two or more people should be free to do whatever pleases them.
Put another way, when anything goes, it means boys can marry boys, mature adults can marry minor children, three men can marry one woman, and one man can marry however many women he can persuade to join him. And before marriage, any two or more consenting individuals can have any sort of sexual intimacy they choose. Another way of describing such a situation is sexual and moral “anarchy.”
But, as the following “What Would You Say” video from the Colson Center explains, there is more to love, marriage and sexual intimacy, which exposes the hollowness of the slogan “love is love.”

Love is love does not mean sexual relationship to me. Marriage, God’s definition, is a covenant that may, if God blesses, result in children. The birth of children is God’s seal upon a relationship. God has given us the technology to prevent the birth fof conceptions that are not of love. This is not abortion as we know it, it is to terminate the conception before the blood begins to flow, for the theme of all scripture is clear, life is in the blood. This is how we can lovingly and scripturally resolve cases of immature mistakes and rape. If men sexually join with men, or women with women, that is their choice, but it is not marriage, and has been shown to lead to less fulfilling lives. We are here to learn to love, and to love appropriately.
