Certain supposed expressions of love, ostensibly in the name of love, are human, very human.

Licking, manual manipulation, rubbing, however and wherever accomplished, between consenting male with male, or female with female, or male with female as intercourse is not love.

Neither is onanism and various other asides. As an adult you may or may not like participating in those particular physical acts, call them what you will, but they are not love. They are not phileo love, and they certainly are not agape love.

David Boles, a fine lawyer as lawyering goes, immediately after the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, here quoted said: “Now everyone can go home and love who they want.”

Oh, really?

As if they need a physical place to do their physical thing. His words more accurately said would be: “Now consenting adults can go home and do what they want with each other.”

Mistaken as he is in the common use of the word “love,” people never needed the say of a human court as to what defines love, and really is not the purview of a court, but needed the court to define an aspect of economics. To continue to confuse those physical acts with love is a mistake and a lack, by substituting surface understanding and convenience.

God loves! For love is ultimately spiritual. Humans can only aspire to that sublime standard, very few achieve it. Else, why so much violence, mayhem, crime, divorce, lying, etc., etc.?

The U.S. Supreme Court was “never even close.”
