In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an a*********n according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an a*********n ... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess s***es, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations.
A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into s***ery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24.
The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9.
The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
Am I morally obligated to k**l him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an a*********n, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser a*********n than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of a*********n?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your adoring fan.

They went through great lengths to justify a d*****t behavior.
Homosexuality is a sin period. Just like stealing murder adultery fornication lying etc.

But you focus on homosexuality, even though adultery is mentioned more in the bible, and is much more prevalent. You wouldn't have issues, would you? Why were you OK with Trump's adulteries?

I focus on it all. The big thing I have with the gay community. Is they want us ti validate their d*****t behavior. Secondly they try to equate being gay with being black. Its not the same.
U dont see adulterers and fornicators
murderers forcing the public at large to accept what they do.
Do u but dont force me or my grand children to accept your sick d********g
d*****t life style

The last time I checked, no one is forcing your grandchild to be gay.
The real question is, if he/she is gay, what will you do?

What about all the other sins in the Bible noted by the OP? How many of them do you break? How do you feel about the Bible justifying s***ery? If anything should be a sin, that should.

There were laws that governed s***ery. You could only keep a s***e for so long etc.

But as far as God was concerned, s***ery was OK. I can't believe in such a God. You know people used the Bible to justify s***ery in the USA.

Homosexuality was a sin in ancient times because the earth was woefully underpopulated. An increased population provided necessary human capital needed for the growth of all civilization. Since ancient civilizations were almost all socialistic/c*******tic, sacrifices of individuals for the common good was the nature of the times. S***ery could be justified in this context also.

The genius of Capitalism which would eventually better humanity was not yet realized except possibly by the Phoenician traders. Sadly the Democrat party thinks we should go back to the days of Socialism and C*******m.
