Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).

Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.

I want to touch my sister’s boobs. What do I say?

Some men love anal sex more than vaginal sex. Why?

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

Does Donald Trump have low self-esteem?

If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)

Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.
