On Adam and Steve

I often hear conservative Christians condemn gay relationships because of the creation story in Genesis — "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," so the slogan goes. I was never particularly impressed by this argument. When I became woke, it was not a major sticking point. But, I happened to think about it the other day, and I realized it goes ignores the logic of Genesis 2 is an important way. In verse 18, God observes that Adam is lonely and incomplete, so He decides to create a partner for him. Thus, He makes all the beasts of the Earth, and each is presented to Adam. Of course, none of them will do, so God creates the first woman. And — with great relief, one assumes — Adam immediately accepts her. At long last, he has found someone who is right for him, and so the two become one. But, for a gay man, a woman is not a fitting partner. If Adam was gay, Eve would have to join the aardvarks.
