This is a very interesting argument as to why the Bible does not actually ban homosexuality. Despite the fact that I am of course highly sympathetic to the argument, I find it somewhat unconvincing. The argument is essentially that the Bible (Old Testament, for you Christians) doesn't ban homosexuality, except when it does, except that Jesus changed everything and the entire Old Testament can be tossed out the window, except that Paul also hates homosexuality, except that we can disregard what Paul said because he was an old fart who didn't understand sexuality the way we do today.
The argument therefore is not that the Bible and New Testament do not ban homosexuality, it is that opinions expressed in 2000+ year-old books are irrelevant to how society treats homosexuals.
As the constipated man said to his gastroenterologist, "No shit."
