Want to cite Deuteronomy to back up your homophobia, guys ? Well stop wearing poly cotton shirts and eating prawn cocktails. these are equally abominable in God's sight, the Torah tells us. Quote one, quote 'em all, I reckon.
Better still, try seeing thee verses in the historical and cultural context that they were written in and stop projecting your own prejudices onto God.
