Here it is: If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.
Now, the death penalty was heavily used in the Old Testament to steer a simpler people in simpler times to steer away from sin and paganism, and to embrace Yahweh and obey his commandments.
We do not need the death penalty for sins like homosexuality, but we need to accept that the divinity did not like same sex carnal relations.
A reasonable compromise is for gays to mate with gays, without it being a non-virtue, but straights are not to have non-straight sex, and gays are not to have straight sex, unless they convert to heterosexuality, and stay faithful to their chosen wife or girl friend.
Gays can have their civil unions but not marriage, the sacred sacrament of union between a man and a woman, sanctioned by God.
