Depends on your religion. It’s not that way for Jews at all. And it’s our book.

This is one of my favorite explanations of the passage from a religious Jewish perspective. Personally, I don’t know how you can consider someone gay if they aren’t having gay sex, but I suppose that’s another topic.

The article offered still condemns gay sex. Hardly a step up. And like I said before, my problem is with the books. The Torah has the same issues as the Bible.

Obviously people of all religions are free to ignore outdated religious commandments, but that is not relevant to my point, which is that there will always be those who take the texts more seriously.

It’s called fundamentalism, and there are certainly Jews on that side of the equation as well.
