Homosexuality and the Bible.
Genesis 19
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, "No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."
9 "Get out of our way," they replied. And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
Now why is the first thing that comes to peoples minds "oh they were destroyed because they where gay."? First of all they where going to RAPE someone. Actually GANGRAPE, also CASUAL SEX. They where showing DISHONOR TO GUESTS, and VIOLENCE.
Not all gay people are up for gang-raping, dishonoring and being rude to people, barging into peoples houses unallowed, and committing acts of violence or casual sex. Actually a lot of them are quite the opposite.
Indeed, people don’t understand what the Bible is ACTUALLY condemning, without regard to cultural conventions and context. I wrote a paper on the concept of “abomination” several months back: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D160567&entry=21264
