The Bible is not the end all be all of wisdom as Zombie might think but nither is it a bunch of crap. If you actually READ the thing, you will realise that it's ultimet messages are universal ones and have nothing to do with the nitpicking people do.
Your quote of Leviticus I belive is the one stating that a man shall not lie with another man as he does with a woman.
The fundamental problem with this is that it depends who translated the verse. Are you listening to the Bible or King James?
In the origional hebrow, the verse can be taken to mean a billion other things, from not lieing in a womans bed, to not getting in to bed with a man and a woman, and as anyone will tell you, it's a toss up to the translator.
If Leviticus is the guiding principal behind this, I suggest taking a look at some of the other laws he outlines. I think you might be surprised at how wacky they are, then ask yourself why you aren't following them all. You don;t get to pick iand choose your laws, ither you belive the book is law, or you don't.
Sodom and Gomora is also a popular refrence, but didn't it occur to you that the homsexuals in that story were out to RAPE Lot? Was this condeming homosexuals, or rape?
Jesus, the final authority if you are a Christian, never said one word concerning homosexuality.
