Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.
Does He?
Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.
Have you worn a tight black mini skirt?
Him and I are good and that’s all I need.
Right?
I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.
Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.
If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.
Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?
How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?
Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.
(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)
Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.
Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?
No one knows.
Why can’t some Christians?

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.
Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.

(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)
If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.
Where?
These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.
What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol
Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.

Further Musings:
There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.
Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.
No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.
Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).
The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).
Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).
