There was gradual movement from abhorrence to acceptance of homosexuality once I grew up a bit and looked around and met people who either were in a same sex relationship or who had children who were. The issue became no longer an issue, or evolved to have different foci.
The new issue that emerged, that took its place, involved my respect or reverence for Scripture, and religion in general. I came to understand that as beautiful and enriching as some of it was and continues to be, I’ve also come to realize that the Bible is a collection of different types of writing, compiled a long time ago by people who, apart from divine inspiration, were opining on topics that were beyond their understanding and levels of expertise, that their opinions were contextual, and that they were even shooting from the hip.
For the same reason that one doesn’t look for a recipe for Confit de Canard in a how-to manual on auto repair, one best look elsewhere for insights into human development and relationships in places besides Leviticus, or elsewhere in either the Old or New Testament.
