I've seen the arguments, over and over; all over the place on DA, and everywhere in real life to boot. I'm tired of having people throw at me that it says in the bible that homosexuality is wrong. I have read the bible, and I know the passage constantly quoted by anti-homosexual proponents, and I have to remind you all that the Holy Bible does not say that homosexuality is wrong, period. There are far more things in the bible that we do not pay attention to. If you want to follow the word of 'god' as seen through thousands of generations of translations, then you should Gather together and isolate the woman who baptized her month old child in the church, because she has violated Leviticus 12:2.
"The Lord said to Moses, 'Say to the israelites; "A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period... Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. If she gives birth to a Daughter, for two weeks the woman shall be unclean, as during her period, then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.'"
So tell me, Are you willing to beat down that woman who just baptized her daughter at the age of one and a half months old? No? How about pushing out those who have eaten fat, or a rare steak? Because here, in Leviticus 7:22, Consuming fats and blood, in any form is a sin, punishable by isolation in a community.
"'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep, or goats... Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the LORD must be cut off from his people.'"
If you don't plan to read the bible- ALL of the bible- and follow the words of the bible- ALL of those words, not just those that will help your cause- you have no right to tell me that I am sinning; or that my sexuality is wrong according to the bible, and that I will go to hell. _______________________________________________________________ "On the proposition that Leviticus 18:22 prohibits homosexuality and god's law must be obeyed. Believers ought not to force their laws on people of different faiths or people of no faith at all. Marriage is a CIVIL right. If you don't want gay people to marry in your church, Okay; but you can't say they can't be married in City Hall because of YOUR religious beliefs." --Julian Bond, speaking at HRC Los Angeles Dinner

Absolutely. There are so many people who are selective about the things in the Bible. Some then say 'But times are different now, we don't do/need/etc this-and-that or so-and-so anymore' Yeah? Well, having a sexuality other than straight is a normal thing as well these days, so Leviticus 18:22 or 20:13 shouldn't be an argument in the discussion about gay marriage/rights either.
*pant* Sorry. I got a little carried away. Tl;dr: Great stamp
