| Summary: | Historically, the Christian church was united in firm opposition to both homosexuality and contraception. Today most evangelical Christians continue to oppose the former but have embraced the latter.

They are wrong for the same reason: they both misuse the sexual organs by directing sexual activity away from procreative unity. |
