If we misuse the gift of sexuality, we're going to suffer the consequences, and I firmly believe we are suffering the consequences.

Sexuality surrounds us like a dangerous aura. The same reverence that is given to the spirit is not given to the flesh. We have had a sexual revolution, but the sexual revolution only has made sex more pervasive. It hasn't granted the level of reverence and respect that it should have.
There really is something raw about sexuality that's real and good and we must continue to learn to not be ashamed of it. But - we have to honor the reality of practicing safer sex.
If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
Giving public sanction to homosexual marriage ends up redefining marriage, and it's certain to harm children.
