Leviticus 18;22
"Homosexuality is absolutely forbidden, for it is an enormous sin."

Care to explain?

No wonder many heterosexuals look down on gay culture.
Looks like fun!! Seriously, I don't see anything wrong with those pictures... but speaking of inappropriate behavior at public events, have you seen any pictures from Mardi Gras? Guess we should look down on heterosexuals for that, since obviously they enjoy taking off their clothes and getting ****-drunk in public.

Translated is the key word... show me the original text, and then we can talk. Well, you don't actually have to do that, since I've already read the OT and Torah in Hebrew - which is as original as it gets these days. And I know you didn't make anything up, I'm just trying to make a point about interpretation of the Bible (which differs greatly).
