all people are entitled to their own interpretations of the Book of Leviticus.

Wrong, no one is entitled to interpret the bible to mean what he or she wants or doesn't want it to mean in order to make it conform to their own views on whatever the issue at hand may be. The biblical condemnation of homosexual acts as sin is as clear as any combination of words can be, and it isn't limited to Leviticus or to the Old Testament. The biblical account of the perverted sex acts of Sodom's homosexual residents are so clearly shown to be grossly sinful that the word "sodomy" is still commonly used to identify that abomination. That particular sin is also cited, among others, in the 1st chapter of Romans (New Testament) as one of the most prevalent sins of the antediluvian people, and as the primary reason for God's almost total annihilation of that ancient civilization with a world-wide flood that killed every human being except righteous Noah and the 7 other members of his family.

There are several other passages in both the NT and OT that condemn homosexual acts as sin, but it really doesn't matter how many times it's repeated because God only has to say a thing once in order for it to be as true as if He had said it a thousand times. I can't say with absolute certainty that an inborn tendency to desire sex with persons of the opposite sex constitutes sin in God's book, but there is no question at all as to whether or not the actual practice of those acts is as sinful as any other act identified as sin in both the Old and New Testaments.

The good news, aka the Gospel, is that Jesus Christ's atoning death on the cross paid the death penalty for ALL sin of ALL men and women who repent of their sins, accept Jesus Christ as Lord, and believe in his/her heart that God the Father raised Him from the dead, as per Romans ch 9 v 10. Many thousand of homosexuals have become Christians and have been delivered from their former perversion. But the God-hating American media and the non-Christians who are now the majority in America insist that homosexuality is irreversible, that those who claim to have been delivered from their former perverse desires are lying, and that most of them have resumed practicing their former homosexual lifestyle.
