| Well, whadaya know... The book of the Bible called Leviticus does condemn male homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13). It also prohibits people from eating pork, shrimp, and lobster, as well as wearing clothes made of mixed fibers, trimming facial hair and touching the skin of a dead pig. Yet nobody seems to be protesting shrimp cocktail, poly-blend sweaters, tidy yet attractive goatees, or the Superbowl! |
| "If we accept the notion of Jerry Falwell and others that AIDS represents God's punisment to erring homosexuals, then is stands to reason that lesbians - virtually untouched by AIDS or sexually transmitted diseases - must be God's chosen people." ~ Newsweek, letter to the editor |
| What the...? In 1974, the Texas legislature revised its sodomy laws, making sodomy legal between consenting heterosexual adults but not between homosexuals. The homophobic standard persists to this day, making Texas one of four U.S. states (along with Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma) that criminalize gays for engaging in sexual behavior that is perfectly legal for straights. UPDATE: This law has recently been overturned in Kansas... it is possible that the same has been done recently in the other states mentioned. |
