Paul writes "... God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion" ( Rom 1: 26-27, NIV)
Did Paul mean the kind of same sex relations where there was no commitment for life long relationship or was Paul making a sweeping generalisation about same sex sexual relations as such? Was Paul leaving a room for same sex life long marriage while saying that same sex relations without life long commitment was unnatural and therefore wrong?
Well, I think Paul was making a sweeping generalisation about all kinds of same sex sexual relations as such as Wright rightly explains the general narrative running through the Scripture.
