I place my faith in the holy scriptures. Where does it say that homosexuality is inherently more sinful than adultery? Why do the 10 Commandments specifically condemn adultery, while making no mention of homosexuality? How many gays are there, vs. the no. of hetero. adulterers? Marital cheating deeply wounds those who are cheated, both male and female. Divorce creates millions of confused and deeply disturbed children. I’ve known men who lived in poverty supporting children whom they were never allowed to see. Their suffering is beyond measure. Only about 1% of the population is homosexual, while something like 30% of children are born without an intact family. What is the greater “crime against nature?” What is harming society more?. Let’s get real here. I am not excusing homosexuality. I am trying to awaken people to the fact that the heterosexual hedonistic lifestyle is a far worse threat, affecting more people, yet many conservatives wink at the problem. The male homosexual lifestyle is also promiscuous, but quantitatively far less significant than the promiscuous and non-committed hetero lifestyle.
Leviticus 20:13 YLT `And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.
It required a death penalty under the law, because the harm was so great.

Romans 1: 24 Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves; 25 who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen. 26 Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; 27 and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving. 28 And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly
