Its really a misconception and transference of guilt that we have been bombarded with from those yahoos behind the pulpit.
The Bible does not say anything about gays in the secular sense. Romans, they love to quote does not mention homosexuals. The word wasn't invented until the 19th century by a psychologist. There was no such word back thousands of years ago.
The Leviticus verse that they love to shout is out of context. Leviticus is an instructional book, on how to be a Levite priest. It instructs them on certain behaviors that are expected of them and prohibited to them. It tells them what to eat, what to drink and how to dress. Levite priests aren't around anymore.
Temple sex prostitution male or female was frowned upon. The word abomination is used, abomination is not a bad thing necessarily, it basically means, against tradition against their belief system. Eating meat to a vegan is an abomination. Going out without makeup on is an abomination to some women.
However the transference of their guilt comes into play when they make it out that the whole Bible preaches against homosexuality. What is mentioned quite frequently in both old and new Testaments is ADULTERY. Whey do we hear more about homosexuality from those religious camps. Because most of those guys are guilty of it. Then there are those who preach against homosexuality only to be caught in a hotel/motel room with gay escorts.
Why are gays accepted?
