Homophobia caused by religion, I hate it so much.
I've never understood why the Abrahamic religions try to justify their hatred towards homosexuals by quoting Leviticus. Outside of Leviticus 18:22 (Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.) their quotes get extremely tenuous.
In fact Leviticus is the only one you ever hear, yet you never hear any other quotes from the book of Leviticus, ever wondered why? Because the book is absolutely batshit crazy, and is pretty much completely obsolete.
It talks about how to beat slaves (after condoning owning them) (25:44),
It talks about how you need to burn the daughters of priests if they have sex (21:9),
It talks about how all blasphemers should be stoned to death (24;16),
It states that women are lesser humans than men, in fact it drives it in constantly (27:7),
And it commands people to sacrifice a whole menagerie of animals for a whole manner of occasions (sacrifice Bullocks and Goats to prey, lambs for child birth, doves, turtles, etc) (16:15).
The list goes on.
Leviticus is a sickening book, and anyone who thinks they can quote from it to condemn homosexuality is not worthy of living in modern society quite frankly. Why? Because if you justify going against homosexuality by using Leviticus then surely you must condone the rest of the book. And if you think women are lesser than men and that blasphemy is punishable by death, then I don't want your hate crimes in my society.
It is not ok to pick and choose quotes to suit you if you believe the book is "infallible".
The homophobia exists solely as a tool of the church, it's like they have a vendetta against them. There is no biblical justification for homophobia, only the lies that the church has told its followers.
Also, Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed due to homosexuality, why do people think it was?
