Disclaimer: Let me say from the start that this post is not about whether or not homosexuality or homosexual practice is a sin. This post is concentrated on how discussions surrounding the issue of homosexuality should be handled in academic communities, particularly those academic communities that affirm a Christian confessional stance.
