In his book on the “moral vision of the NT,” Richard Hays refers to homosexual acts as an “antisacrament” of rebellion against God, a visible (even ritual?) manifestation of a rejection of the Creator and His created order. This is a very profound way to describe the character of the gay rights movement. It particularly helps to explain the rabid response to anyone who challenges the gay rights movement. Opponents are not just reasonable people who disagree on a moral issue; they commit sacrilege by treading on a holy sacrament.
