"Conservatives" are not that conservative about themselves.

Meanwhile complaining that atheists are cherry picking specific portions of the bible

The dude on the right threw his back out trying to flip over that upside-down flag and his buddy is just trying to help him up.

Hey that isn't fair! Some of us smoked unfiltered

Leviticus 20:13: “If a man has intercourse with a man as with a woman, both commit an abomination. They must be put to death.”

That is one quote that I could find. There are probably more.

Edit: But wait, there's more...

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination

Romans 1:26-27, Corinthians 6:9-10, Timothy 1:9-10, etc, etc.

That bible is a really hateful book, for sure. It's mind boggling how anyone could be gay and christian. Mental gymnastics to 11, I suppose.

Universal christianity rules apply: Always pick and choose your scriptures.

Nope. I’ve written about this at length, as it’s one of many things in scripture that requires a significant amount ignorance and/or bad faith to mistranslate as “gay is bad”.

In Leviticus there is a part of a laundry list of household incest laws that reads “A man shall not lay with a male as with a woman.” The phrasing is extremely specific and particular. Why “male” and not just “man”? Why is “as with a woman” added when the command would be perfectly clear without it? What does that addition mean? Why is there no mention of women and women?

This is easy: this command was never intended for us (gentiles living thousands of years later in dramatically cultures), so we can easily miss a massive amount of important context. In the middle east thousands of years ago, if you - a man - wanted a bride or a concubine, you BOUGHT one. You owned her. If you already owned a female slave, you could freely rape her or force her into marriage or concubinage. The prohibition is not a blanket statement on consensual equal gay relationships, it was about not being allowed to rape your male chattel slaves, who had more inherent rights than the female ones.

It’s also important to point out that these laws were handed only to the Israelites who had left Egypt and wandered the desert, ostensibly (according to YHWY, per the same scripture) to guarantee the tribes survival until they could establish a new homeland.

Paul also writes about this once, using a greek colloquial term that translates literally to “male-bedders”, making it parallel to Leviticus in terms of meaning. This appears to be condemnation of pederasty as well, not a condemnation of consensual equal gay relationships.

And yes, the historical circumstances surrounding all that is no heinous to any modern audience… but for different reasons than modern Xtians paint.

P.S. This is not a defense of many awful, gut-churning stories in scripture - merely an explanation of this one specific topic within it’s own social, cultural, and historic context and scope.

Depends on who is doing the translation.

Some scholars suggest Paul’s condemnations were added later.

Jesus never said anything about homosexuals in the New Testament.

Not a word.
Although it DOES say that the man that Jesus resurrected from the beseeching of another man was his "life partner" but that is ALSO conveniently Ignored by the right wing.

They're just smashing words together at this point.

When I googled it, the first result was a godhates[bundleofsticks] site. So still not sure what it means, but it's related somehow.

They never skipped leg day

The boy is holding a sign that has the US flag upside down, a sign of distress, utilizing a slur on the poster to denote that gay marriage is an wrong and therefore causing the US to be in distress. The US flag with pride colours, which are to show acceptance, being stood on is a sign of disrespect.
