Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination
This is about having sex as an offering to god, in the temple. Substituting a man in place of a woman is the abomination. Not just having sex in general with a man. Also, Leviticus applies to the Levites and the Levitican clergy.
There is literally NOTHING in the bible that says homosexuality is wrong. But it does fully endorse incest and genocide.
If you fuck a women you are not allowed to fuck a man the same way.
So you have to reserve certain female-only and male-only positions, or you go to hell; or better: Just don’t fuck women and you have no other restrictions
All the other believers seem to understand that “don’t lie with a man as you do with a woman” isn’t a bunch of loopholes you can navigate by arguing semantics. It is a “don’t be gay” commandment.
The bible does support homophobia. And that’s okay, most large religions are homophobic, I just find it silly to pretend otherwise.
Religion and progressive values do not mix. Which is why I find anyone seeking their acceptance seriously misguided.
Leviticus 20:13: “If a man has intercourse with a man as with a woman, both commit an abomination. They must be put to death.”
That is one quote that I could find. There are probably more.
Edit: But wait, there’s more…
Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination
Romans 1:26-27, Corinthians 6:9-10, Timothy 1:9-10, etc, etc.
That bible is a really hateful book, for sure. It’s mind boggling how anyone could be gay and christian. Mental gymnastics to 11, I suppose.
Universal christianity rules apply: Always pick and choose your scriptures.

Translation #2. This is not what someone else just explained. I am curious about how many interpretations this has.
Everybody perceives art a different way.
Here is an excellent explanation.

Great. Now convince Christians of that. Good luck.
All I can read out of these citations:
If you fuck a women you are not allowed to fuck a man the same way.
So you have to reserve certain female-only and male-only positions, or you go to hell; or better: Just don’t fuck women and you have no other restrictions
It’s not a creative reading exercise though.

I guess my tone did not transfer well.
I tried to make fun of it, not defend it.
