It states in Levicitus (The book that condemns homosexuality) that I can't eat shellfish, I should own slaves, I should not wear clothes made of two materials, women are lesser than men, Bats are actually just birds in a cunning disguise, and that I should sacrifice, well, a whole fucking menagerie of animals to appease God. Oh and that I should stone people who don't follow it to death.
I found this and it points out all the absurdities in levicitus (there's a long version too). The vast majority of which I imagine most Christians just brush aside anyway. I mean how many Christians do you know who sacrifice a lamb or two turtles and two doves during a child's birth to keep the mother pure? Yet it goes on about that verse after verse after verse, far more than it talks about homosexuality.
Do Christians sacrifice animals so often during childbirth? Because it's clearly just as important (according to Levicitus) to sacrifice countless animals than to be heterosexual. Does the pope condemn people for not bringing lambs into hospital and killing them in front of the midwife?
No. What I think it is, is selective reading.

I really think it's more just... Levitcitus was clearly added in later.
A lot of "God's comandments" there really were more guidelines that would help a small somehwhat xenophobic group of people to survive.
