In the Old Testament, the Ten Commandments do not include homosexual behavior (Deuteronomy 5.11-21) and the seven acts most detestable to God (Proverbs 6.16-19: "haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers" do not mention sexual misconduct. In the New Testament, Christ never mentioned homosexuality and asked for understanding and restraint of condemnation in sexual matters (John 8.1-11). The Bible never discusses homosexuality in the context of committed relationships or within the Gay community.112 In I Corinthians 6.9-10, as translated by some into English, St. Paul (coming from a cross-cultural Hebrew, Greek, and Roman perspective) discusses pagan sanctioned temple (cult) male prostitutes (???vo?, pornos), effeminate males or catamites (?????o?, malakos), and homosexuals (a???vo?oi???, arsenokoitai). St. Paul's statements taken literally, as translated into English, would condemn celibate effeminate homosexuals. Boswell, using Koine Greek contemporary to St. Paul, translations into other languages, and early Christian scholarship and commentaries on I Corinthians 6.9-10 convincingly argues St. Paul was not discussing homosexuals or homosexuality.113
Saint Augustine, considered Pauline, admitted homosexual practices with much anguish. When Saints John Chrysostom and Augustine--both vehemently opposed to homosexuality--comment on I Corinthians 6.9-10, neither mentions homosexuality.114 St. Augustine's major apologist, Martin Luther, wrote derisively of homosexuals, but translated "????vo?o????" as "Knabenschänder," or child molester.115 The Christian Emperor, Justinian, who herded whole villages into rivers to be baptized so they could die in Christ, believed homosexuality caused earthquakes, famines, and pestilence and legislated homosexual behavior should be subjected to penance much like adultery.116 His wife, Theodora, avoiding abortion, had many of her illegitimate children murdered.
Bible, Torah, and Koran advocate male supremacy. The books of the Bible appear to have been generally accepted about the time of the Council of Carthage in 397. Until A.D. 858, Christians debated whether women had souls.117 The Council of Trent "condemned to anathema anyone who said marriage was as virtuous as celibacy."118 In Christian, Hebrew, and Moslem texts male homosexuals are seen as effeminates who adopt female sexual behaviors119. The "sin" of homosexuality and legal prohibitions against homosexuals relates to cross-gendered behavior.120 Unlike the Bible, the Koran mentions lesbian behavior. The Koran calls for the punishment of lesbians. Male homosexuals can go through a purification ritual. Lesbians could be forever locked away. While Sunnis appear to follow the Koran, Shiites have adopted an extreme form of punishment for homosexuals. The first such punishment was to throw homosexuals from minarets. This distasteful practice has been replaced with hangings, beatings, being thrown from cliffs using Shariah, a strict code of law derived from “hadith, ijma, and qiyas” not found in the writings of the Prophet Mohammed.
Christian, Jewish, and Moslem passages against homosexuals may derive from the stories of "Sodom and Gomorrah" and "Ham." Based on many Bible passages, the most illustrative to explain God's wrath at Sodom and Gomorrah are found in Ezekiel 16:
"49. Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. 50. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them, when I saw it." (RSV)
Homosexuals per se are not mentioned either in the original story of Sodom and Gomorrah or in later biblical explanations. Linguistic scholars of Koine, Aramaic, classical Greek, Latin, and Hebrew convincingly argue "temple prostitutes" and being unclean during religious ceremonies--not homosexuals per se were the topic of biblical discussions regarding "unnatural" sexual practices.121 It is unlikely St. Paul or the rabbinical scholars he studied understood the relationship between differences in brain anatomy and natural sexual orientation. In biblical times, natural sexual practices based on brain sex/gender would have appeared unnatural--particularly because procreation was not involved. It has been argued that St. Paul may have been condemning heterosexuals who engage in homosexual behavior (e.g., Ted Haggard, etc.). How a professed former homosexual could pronounce a total cure and heterosexuality on behalf of Rev. Haggard is unsupported by objective data. St. Paul writing to the Romans who were surrounded by idolatry and pagan religions (Romans 1.23-32) appears to renew and augment the Old Testament prohibition against homosexual behavior found in Leviticus 20: "13. If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them." (RSV) The use of "abomination" in the Bible in both Hebrew and Greek referred to sacred ceremonies, idolatry, and pagan worship.
Today, mainstream churches express the belief that homosexual acts, not homosexuals, are "sinful."122 While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints adopts the same position, the Book of Mormon fails to mention homosexuality. In the United States and in other countries, the Metropolitan Community Church has pastors ministering predominantly to Gays. Among several protestant religions, Quakers, Unitarians, United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian Church U.S.A., Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Eposcopal Church, etc. accept homosexuals and lesbians as congregants and sometimes clerics. Most Jewish synagogues in the United States fully accept homosexuals as congregants and rabbinical scholars. Many Christian churches oppose discrimination against homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals and promote acceptance of same-sexed couples.
Evangelical Christian scholars state:
"Christian canon law laid down penalties [for homosexual behavior] ranging from nine years' penance to permanent excommunication. In general, the [early Christian] church treated homosexuality as a sin needing spiritual cure rather than a crime for magistrates to punish. ... In [the words of the preeminent theologian] Karl Barth's phrase, much homosexual inclination is 'moral malady'; it is no more to be blamed than left handedness or color blindness. . . . An alert church will not ostracize but befriend those whose constitution and circumstances make Christian living harder for them than for most."123
The Roman Catholic Church, while eschewing homosexual acts, indicates homosexuality is innate and tells parents not to force change oriented therapies upon their children. Far from being anti-homosexual, the Vatican Declaration on Sexual Ethics exhorts pastors to be understanding of homosexuals and to include them in the communion of worship.124 The Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith advised American Bishops to fight laws extending civil rights to homosexuals. The Congregation stated, "Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder."125 Before becoming Pope, while head of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Pope Benedict the XVI publicly stated “homosexuality is evil.” Still, American Roman Catholic Bishops have adopted a much more accepting attitude toward sexual minorities.
To the Religious Right homosexuals are an affront to the nuclear family and "family values." Family accepted homosexuals are major contributing members to their nuclear families. Research shows that homosexual parents are as effective as heterosexuals in parenting and that living in a Gay household lacks influence on the sexual orientation or psycho-social adjustment of children.126 Many jurists appear to use the classical "traditional family" as their model in second-parent adoption cases.127 Although religious motivation appeared to have a negative influence on some, pre-service elementary teacher's attitudes towards gay and lesbian parents appeared increasingly accepting.128 Same-sexed affirmation and commitment ceremonies, much like marriages, are performed by some religious groups and individuals. Allowing Gay couples to marry is seen by many as a way to decrease promiscuity, increase monogamy among Gays, and promote a healthy view of homosexuals. Marriage between same-sexed couples is accepted in some states and not others, and in some culturally advanced countries.
The Religious Right, through Exodus International and PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-homosexuals), support their views using a pseudo-journal, The Journal of Human Sexuality,129 consisting of an anti-homosexual diatribe using argumentum ad hominem, half-truths, deceptions, and articles from questionable sources, use flawed research of found in some mainstream vetted research, selectively quote from legitimate sources. Among many professional bodies, the American Psychiatric and Psychological Associations have condemned Exodus International and similar organizations for giving false hope to ego-dystonic homosexuals desiring to become heterosexual. While stating many living the "homosexual lifestyle" have become heterosexual through "reparative" or "Christian conversion" therapy,130 Exodus International and others offer no reliable or valid scientific evidence of these metamorphoses and refuse long-term follow-up studies. A study which does not distinguish between male pseudohomosexuals and natural homosexuals indicated that 11 men changed sexual orientation as a result of "folk therapy" as part of a pentecostal experience.131 Many chapters of Exodus International have fallen by the way. "Two of Exodus International's founders, Michael Bussee and Gary Cooper, fell in love and left the organization in 1979."132
The Religious Right, exemplified by the Family Research Institute and Family Research Council, have a narrow self-righteous view of sexuality and use flagrant deceit and exceptionally questionable research methods (e.g., inadequate and biased subject selection, sampling methods, peer reviewed publishing, and data sources--followed by unsupported conclusions, conjecture, and speculation).133 Some defend their views by misrepresenting and dismissing a massive body of professional literature and scientific research.134 A look at their internet sources illustrates their facile use of illegitimate and legitimate research to create a hostile view of homosexuals. Other religions with ultra-right elements also show similar bias against homosexuals.135
Other Cultures and Traditions.
In many American Indian tribes, before the coming of Christian missionaries, cross-gendered individuals found wide acceptance (e.g., Kutenai, Crow, Mohave, Pawnee, Piegan, Omaha, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Cree, Sauateaux, Ute, Flathead, Maidu, Teton-Dakota, Cocopay, Kamia, Klamath, Navaho, Mohawk, Zuni, Chumash, Colorado, Yaavapai, Mono, Sioux, Pima, Ojibwa, Chippewa, Potawatomi, Shoshoni, Winnebago, Quinalt, Apache, Mandan, Blackfeet, Oglala, etc.). In early childhood, when cross-gendered interests and play were apparent, a feminized male child was reared among the tribal women and a masculinized female child among tribal men. Often, as an adult, "she" married a male tribal member and "he" became a chief or married a female tribal member.136 Among these tribes, the inward spirit, not outward anatomy, was the key to gender behavior and sexual expression. In differing cultures and geographic regions, among a few primitive tribes, homosexual activity is still part of ritual passage through puberty.137 The indigenous tribal acceptance of homosexuals and transsexuals was used by the Papacy to justify the murder of thousands in South America and Mexico. That Christ does not mention homosexual behavior in the Book of Mormon is most unusual as his visits among indigenous American peoples is the focus of Mormon scripture. In today's society, homosexual, bisexual, and sexual uncertainty appear to be higher among American-Indian adolescents than comparable Caucasians138
Before Western influence in the orient, China and Japan accepted homosexuals and the cross-gendered. In the silk growing regions of China, lesbian liaisons were encouraged. During the Cultural Revolution, although homosexual behavior was not subject to legal condemnation, there were accounts of persecution of lesbian and male homosexual couples.139 Buddhists, Taoists, Shintoists, etc., not coming from the middle eastern patriarchal tradition, have always had little or nothing to say about sexual orientation. In Hindu law, while adult females can be severely punished for seducing a young female, nothing is said about punishment of male homosexuals.

Homosexuality is Condemned in the Bible!
Also: Church fathers before 300 AD condemned Homosexuality as sin
Also: A Vaccine to prevent Homosexuality!: Inoculate your children!
The Bible's condemnation of homosexuality is as clear and plain as the Bible's condemnation of murder, adultery, premarital sex, kidnapping, lying and idolatry. Further, for me to openly condemn homosexuality theologically makes me no more a "gay basher" than I am an "adultery basher", "premarital sex basher", "kidnapper basher" or a "murderer basher". If you disagree, your argument is with God's Bible.
The homosexual community has two ways of promoting their personal choices of being homosexual through the religious forum. First, some will claim the Bible actually promotes and condones homosexuality. Second, others try to get the Bible banned from public use by categorizing it as hate literature.
For any to use the Bible to condone rather than condemn homosexual activity in the theological arena just proves such a one has absolutely no idea what the Bible actually teaches. For anyone to suggest the Bible says homosexual activity is acceptable to God, is nothing short of willful blindness. So to set the record straight once and for all, here is what the Bible teaches on the subject.
Anyone who has heard of the cities of "Sodom and Gommorah" knows that they were notorious hotbeds of homosexuality. Gen 19:5-8 "and they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.' But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, 'Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.'" The Greek word in the New Testament for homosexuality is literally "a sodomite". Jock is trying to redefine what the term "sodomite" means. (A term that has unchanged in 5000 years, even today- "sodomy") Apart from the fact the city was clearly destroyed by God because of homosexuality in the narrative of Gen 19, even the New Testament clearly states exactly the same thing in Jude 7 "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire." Any sinner should always remember that the God who commands us to love our neighbour is the same God who will cast any and all unrepentant sinners into the "eternal fire". Here are more Bible quotes, Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death." 1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals" 1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers" Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."
If the homosexual community chooses to practice homosexuality in privacy, that is there free choice. But let such persons know for certain that the Christian Bible condemns all such practices and God will judge them unfit for the kingdom of heaven if the continue to practice and openly promote homosexual sex.
Seven Things I Wish Pro-Gay People Would Admit
by Bob Davies
1. I wish they would admit that many people are not happy with their homosexuality or lesbianism, and that this conflict is internal, based on legitimate, intelligent religious and moral convictions--not just the result of a so-called "homophobic" society which is forcing guilt upon people who don't conform to a heterosexual ethic. Stop throwing out the cheap, inaccurate labels like "internalized homophobia" to explain our motivations.
2. I wish they would acknowledge that homosexuals and lesbians can experience significant change in their sexual feelings and desires, even though they may never be totally heterosexual in their sexual thoughts and feelings. Be honest enough to admit that such change is significant and genuine, even if it isn't complete.
3. I wish they would acknowledge that many former homosexuals and lesbians have found a greater measure of peace and satisfaction after leaving a gay or lesbian lifestyle than they ever experienced while embracing homosexuality. Not all "ex-gays" are miserable, plotting how to secretly fulfill their homosexual lusts without being caught.
4. I wish they would acknowledge that many former homosexuals and lesbians have genuine joy in their marriages. Most former gays and lesbians don't get married in a futile attempt to "escape" homosexuality; they marry as a natural consequence of resolving that issue in their lives.
5. I wish they would acknowledge that all people have as much right to pursue a heterosexual lifestyle as they do to pursue homosexuality. Former homosexuals and lesbians should not be harassed and castigated by the gay community. But I have never heard any gay or lesbian leaders speak out against the violence (such as bomb threats and physical/verbal abuse) which some people perpetuate against Exodus ministries.
6. I wish they would stop equating our decision to leave homosexuality with "hatred" and "bigotry" against gays and lesbians. We don't hate gays; we simply desire to live free of homosexuality. Don't put nasty labels upon our motives. That's being judgmental and unfair.
7. I wish pro-gay religious leaders would admit that their endorsement and promotion of monogamous homosexual relationships is a facade. Many--probably most--men and women involved in long-term partnerships are not sexually monogamous, but gay churches don't discipline members for committing "adultery" outside their "gay marriage." Neither do they discipline gays or lesbians who have sex before entering into a "holy union" with their partner.
Bob Davies is past President of Exodus International and an ex-gay himself. He has been married for nine years.

Sorry I know, I have a terrible sense of humour. I have been told, my humour would fit perfectly within the society in the UK.
I find it laughable that pastors use so much time on homosexuality than on people in need. The pastors can open their door and see people starving, children raped, people dying of diseases, children forced to work along roads selling pure water, see techers beating pupils so the pupils cant stand nor work, but they care about a victimless crime instead?
Too many people are to busy condamning others than to look within. It is easier to see the sins of others than the ones committed by oneself. Matt 7.1 ff
When they quote the bible to condamn homosexuality, they never use Jesus. Why? Jesus did not say a word. If Jesus did not care, why should we care? In fact Jesus said this:
Matt 25,35-46 "35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
If you refuse to accept homosexuals as your brother, you have refused to accept Jesus.

The post makes sense, and I think taking a stance for God Almighty is the most sensible thing one can render for his nation. God did not create homosexuality. It is Satan that is confusing gay people. When God created Adam and Eve, God told them to go and procreate and multiply. How could God Almighty told two males or two females to procreate?
Homosexuality was not an issue in our country until so many Ghana traveled to abroad.Evil white homosexuals bought these lazy Ghanaians who needed quick money and engaged homosexual sex with them. Now, these lazy Ghanaians and some foreigners want to bring this evil lifestyle to Ghana.
Why don't we have animal homosexuals? Homosexuals and consumed in evil sensuality and wants to impose this satanic lifestyle on Ghanaians. It is not going to happen in Ghana.
God Almighty hates homosexuality. It is abominable. Ghanaians do not want to incur the wrath of God. You homosexuals, don't you learn? Look at what you have brought to this world, AIDS. You don't have repentance heart.
Continue to tear your anus apart and you will never no peace.
The writer of this article is talking sense. You don't have to insult him. He used God's Word to rebuff supporters of homosexuality. You can go to Obama's country and Britain to tear your anus apart. Nobody cares, but can not do it in Ghana.

In Akan society, homosexuality was non-existence. Akans had deterance measures to protect Akans from being infected by people who practiced this evil lifestyle. In Akan society, such deviants were made to pay ten barrels of palm oil. There were no palm oil plantations at that time. There was no way anyone could produce ten barrels of palm oil. In essence, you won't even dare to do that. Homosexuality is dirty, filthy, evil and unhygienic.

It is simply irrational and sinful behavior. Even animals do not live like that. No wonder Homosexuals are dogged with all kinds of diseases including HIV/AIDS. Homosexuality is sinful and abnormal. Change from it or you will go to hell.

Using the Bible as your reference point totally invalidates your argument. The Bible is a religious book, the teaching of which is adhered to by a subset of human species. What about uncivilised tribes and other societies that may have never come into contact with the Bible?
Note: homosexual behaviour is exhibited by about 1500 species. Homophobia is found in only one. Think on it.
Hypocrisy has got a stranglehold on Ghanaian society to the point where beating your wife is considered less of a sin compared to a gay couple engaging in a harmless act in private.

The swine eats human excreta. Therefore inserting your penis into anus where the excreta is dislodged from, I think you qualify and can be branded as a swine.
Why do Homos prefer insulting? Why won't they learn or realize that they live in constant isolation.
Their best is to cast aspersions with little or no sense of shame. Be bold and venture out. You homos are deprave species and must be removed from the society.

Why are you so interested in homosexuality? what about the other sins mentioned by your bible? or they are lesser sins?
... the ten commandments never mentioned homosexuality as a sin , neither did jesus the christ ever say homosexuality was a sin but he did say a whole lot of things that were sins so why dont you talk about that and leave homosexuals alone?
after all you are not God and your bible says " judge not that ye may not be judge " that same chapter also talks about removing the plank from your eyes before you attempt to remove the speck from anothers eye....
no body is asking any body to be gay... if you are not one , then thank your god and keep doing your thing...but I dont think God have appointed you to conderm any of his creations.... leave gays alone...and worship your god in truth and in spirit and not come here to spew hate toward a group you obviously do not understand ......after all jesus said .."give to cesear what belongs to cesear and to God what belongs to God" and "he who is without sin should cast the first stone"...so since you have done a good job of pointing others sins out can you now tell us about your sins...or you are without sin right?

That is why homosexuality is a serous and abominable sin. God created Adam and Eve and told them to procreate . God told them to multiply and inhabit and subdue the earth.
If everybody is practicing homosexuality, how can we procreate and multiply to fill the earth? It is Satan who is involved in homosexuality. You know, Satan is an enemy of God. He does contrary to what God Almighty does and says. So, Satan is instigating homosexuals to make God Almighty looks like a liar. Child bearing is promise of God, and it has been fulfilled and it is being fulfilled. That is why we have many human beings on this earth.
Papa homo, don't support Satan to make God looks like a liar. God is good, truth and light.

It is relevant. Homosexuals want God Almighty to look like a liar. It is Satan who is using this homosexuals. Apart radical Islam, which is armed wing of Satan's army, homosexuals have become another tools for Satan's kingdom. Satan is using homosexuals to advance his course.

I'm not even sure where to start. First of all, this article presents itself as a scholarly source. Yet, it doesn't cite any sources to back up its claims. Furthermore, to follow the authors trail of logic, is he stating that we are all born bisexual? Are we equally attracted to men and women, but mankind simply chooses a female because that's what society expects of us? I mean if homosexuality is a choice, than someone who is straight could become "gay" whenever they chose to, right? Furthermore, the citing of Leviticus always confuses me. Leviticus is a book of laws, hundreds of laws, and some of these include abstaining from eating shellfish, not mixing certain fabrics, and remaining clean shaven. Why is it that Christians take one law from an entire book of commands and state that Leviticus 18:20 is relevant, while non e of the other laws are? If we can invalidate passages in the bible that clearly condone slavery as being immoral, why do certain Christians pick what parts of the bible are relevant? Oh, and here's the passage about slavery I was referring to:
"When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property". (Exodus 21:20-21)

True Christians do not judge.The problem with most religions and Christianity in particular is that,it tends to make excuses on behalf God.He does not need us to do that on his behalf.When a child is born to a faithful Christian parent with for a example downs syndrome,I am sure there would be many in the christain community that would find excuses to distance God from it.My point is he does not need us as Christians to do that.Most often in society when a male child is born with effeminate mannerisms and feautures,they are often condemned to be homosexuals even before they have their first gay cognitive thought.My point here again is that he was created by God.It is unchristian for us to try to distance God from anything that occur naturally but not according to popular social expectations. if he ''GOD'' is the ''I am that I am'' then he lets things happen for a reason and as he likes. So let us stop making excuses on his behalf.When an innocent God fearing people of an island gets swallowed up by an earthquake triggered tsunami,how do you explain things to people that asks the difficult question ''why did God let that happen''.Here again the so called Christians are quick to distance God from it.The point I am trying to make with all these comparisons and anologies is that let us remember first and foremost that ''He is that he is'' and he does whatever he pleases whether via saving people from famine,letting innocent people die in floods or earthquakes or creating human beings that turns out to be gay or having birth defects etc.Let us show compassion and not be the judge of things both ''good'' or bad.It is for example it is increasingly becoming a norm for people just to cohabit and have children without legally or religiously getting married.I do not here an uproar over this scenario.Why single out homosexuals.Let us not hate but love and show compassion.The same bible that people claim condemns homosexuality ,advocates for love and compassion for a fellow human beingn and also says we should not judge. Let us adhere holistically to the so called word of GOD. Because all those fanatics who judge and threaten the lives of others based on sexuality are going to be the first to be judged.Speaking a as a black man I say this.We do not like it when we are discriminated against on the basis of our skin colour so if anything at all we should be the first to condemn discrimination of any form.

You sound just like the American racists of my youth talking about the "sin of miscegenation" (interracial cohabitation.) Same sort of fact free conspiracy theories, same abuse of ripped out of contexts clobber verses. Same inability to treat minority adults as adults.
For instance Genesis 19:1-29 doesn't say anything of the sort. I have to wonder about a person who can see the difference between attempted gang rape and mutually consenting adult relationships. Gang rape, then and now, is about violently breaking the victim down into being totally under the control of the rapists...into being their slave. Violently enslaving strangers is not the same thing as sexual orientations and mutually consenting adult relationships.
Not to mention that the American racists read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah as condemning interracial relationships. The Sodomites were "swarthy," you see, and the angels, in racist fantasies, had to be "white."
They also claimed the smooth talking serpent in the Garden of Eden had dark skin...God brought down Noah's Flood because of "race mixing"... and so on and so forth.
It is defamation, of course, to compare minority adults to prostitutes, swindlers, thieves etc.

English words often have more than one meaning, as well as slang meanings. Gay, in slang use, was once used, especially in the 19th Century, as meaning "one of us outsiders." The Gay life was a life that wasn't quite respectable, dance halls, burlesques, sex workers, bartenders, musicians in places of dubious repute, avant garde artists etc.
And of course, men who liked men were part of the Gay community. Eventually, slang Gay usage evolved into the name of the American Gay community.
Gay then became the world wide egalitarian movement, mostly for sexual minorities... egalitarian in general, for that matter. People heavily invested in sexism and patriarchy, even if female, feel threatened by any egalitarian movement, I think.
No sinister conspiracies required... just how slang is used and evolves.

It is true that God has allowed the hearts of the sinful to be hardened and their eyes to be blinded. I remember a homosexual telling me he looked forward to christianity being destroyed and paganism reigning.... Just a way for him to be happy in his sinful and immorral acts of Sodomy. Funny how some poeple believe in filthy idols (Created things, or demons with many different names decieving those who worship them - just as the devel/satan/lucifer is the father of lie's) But these people are happy in there deception...and love their Sin. However, saw a great book for Gay which was about a man who was gay....but praise be to the Lord he was cured of his Sin and now leads a normal wife and has a loving wife and children. Jesus forgives ALL SIN, pretty much no matter what it is. As long as you truely repent in your heart your sin WILL be forgiven.
