I would like to know where Mr Obama thinks there is any reference to homosexuality in the Sermon on the Mount.

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a
crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday
that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his
support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He
also told the crowd that his position in favor of
legalized abortion does not make him "less Christian."

"I don't think it [a same-sex union] should be called
marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that
they should have that is recognized by the state,"
said Obama. "If people find that controversial then I
would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount,
which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more
central than an obscure passage in Romans." ((Hear
audio from WTAP-TV)) St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans
condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.
