i always thought people ZOOMED in on certain mess in that story
when there was so much going on within that city that caused "god" to eventually burn it down
but there are definitely verses in the bible that, at the very least ....
do a great job of SEEMING very blatantly anti-gay.
(Leviticus 20:13 and 18:22)
the language used definitely sounds like it's clearly addressing two men laying down with one another to have sex, and putting them to death as a punishment.
maybe there's some debate about the interpretation but i can't blame so many christians for assuming it's referring to gay sex/love, when it literally says "if a man is to lay down with a man as he would a woman, it is an abomination. the punishment is death"
it's in the bible. and i think when a lot of us gay folks hear that "its in the bible " phrase , its very triggering for us but the reality is ..... language that, at the very least, can EASILY be perceived/interpreted as anti-gay is definitely in that book.
along with instructions for us to pay our taxes on time and obey the law of the land...conveniently.
