Religious Justification

Religious justification of love between the two persons of same sex assumes more conviction when combined with philosophical justification (than just based on anecdotes!). I find several excerpts in Hinduism, one is produced below :
स्वभावनियतं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्बिषम्।।
स्वभावसे नियत किये हुए स्वधर्मरूप कर्मको करता हुआ मनुष्य पापको प्राप्त नहीं होता। ~ Bhagwad Gita 18.47
Islam is one such religion which doesn't offer any such excerpts - one more reason of not supporting it.

More for those who are interested :
सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत्।
सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः।।18.48।।
हे कुन्तीनन्दन दोषयुक्त होनेपर भी सहज कर्मका त्याग नहीं करना चाहिये क्योंकि सम्पूर्ण कर्म धुएँसे अग्निकी तरह किसीनकिसी दोषसे युक्त हैं।
