Then you did not read my first post properly (but may be the whole
bunch of others as well). Let;s take it as I did not write it properly
and let me explain more then.

1. The highest standard of sex is celibacy, as Jesus and Paul have demonstrated.
2. Sex in Marriage to have kid is surely according to nature,
otherwise will lead human to extinction. This is considered as a holy
call as well.
3. Sex in marriage, but just for fun to fulfill our heart desire, no
intentioned to bear children. This is not so good. This is like eating
not for the health, but eating for fun only.
4. Sex outside marriage, gay/lesbian included
5. etc...

What I meant is, I do not agree with gay, but sex in marriage is not
the highest standard either. So, we despised the gay only and not
despised all imperfection?

It is surely relevant. If I demand celibacy among people that craving
for sex, sure it is like cast my pearls before swine, right?

So. Paul did not cast his pearl to swine I guess ..... And below verse
confirm it:

1Co 3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye
were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
