Wasn't that Leviticus verse in the Old Testament? You know, the same book that says eating shellfish and cutting your beard is a sin?
I thought Christians followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, who obviously refuted a lot of the Jewish traditions in favor of more personal freedom and love for all humanity.
Jesus never said anything bad about gays... Least I don't think so...

Are you following Christ when you hate your brother? If you then hate your brother, are you really Christian (following Christ)? [i]If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, [u]he is a liar[/u]; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.[/i] - 1 John 4:20 But don't get it twisted, refusing to support homosexuality =/= hatred.

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. [u]Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same[/u], shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven - [i]Jesus Christ[/i]
