So what this guy is saying is because the Old Testament talks about homosexuality being a sin, it is ipso facto not a sin anymore. Why? Because everything in the OT is just plain old timey and stupid. Problem is the NT talks about it too.

Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

Romans 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Furthermore Jesus made it clear that the OT is not invalid.

Matthew 5:17 [ The Fulfillment of the Law ] “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Matthew 5:18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

So if anyone sins because of this guy’s declaration he is now more in trouble, than if he kept his views to himself.

James 3:1 [ Taming the Tongue ] Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

I guess the sin Sodom was destroyed for was xenophobia. Or maybe it was Islamophobia.

“Men committed shameful acts with other men...”
I saw a shameful commercial today for Heineken Beer which goes approximately like this:
— A metrosexual guy in a skinny suit says, “Heineken makes it OK to flip another man’s meat”.
— Normal looking guy standing at BBQ grill says, “No”.
— Metrosexual guy says, “Heineken makes a great beer”.
— Normal guy says, “Yeah. Will you get me one?”
— Metrosexual guy says, “If I do will you let me flip your meat?”
— Normal guy says, “Uh, no”.
