On an unnecessary side note, the reason why the original scrolls, texts, and canons spoke against homosexuality (according to the current crop of theological scholars anyways) is an interesting tale. The initial intent (again, according to the scholars) was to discourage any sexual practice that did not result in reproduction as the jews (Israelites) were lower in numbers than their leaders wanted. The practice was further encouraged by the subsequent peoples who held the jews in slavery (more pregnancy = more slaves). Homosexuality was in the same banned catagory as masterbation and any other practices that did not result in a future child. Modern religious zealots who take precautions to avoid producing a pregnancy with each sexual encounter (condoms, etc) are breaking the same laws that ban homosexuality. Just a fun fact to consider.
