I was not quoting Deuteronomy. My reference was from Leviticus, 20:13 from the NIV bible. It does use the term sexual.
The SODOMITES are reserved for destruction. They are demon possessed and so I understand that when I speak to you I am speaking to one of satan's minions. To you demon I say, leave this child Brian Devon. Release him now and go back to your beastly father Beelzebub . Come back to us Brian and bask in the mercy of Yeshua.

Nowhere in the old testament (from which you are incorrectly quoting) will you find the word "sexual". Like many far right Christian extremists (a la Westboro Baptist Church), you are just "cherry picking" from Deuteronomy. If you are going to follow Deuteronomy (and not just the passages that fit your homophobia) be prepared to give up spare ribs, bacon, ham, and pork roast. You will also have to give up shrimp, lobster, crab, and catfish. In addition you will have to buy a second set of dishes, pots & pans and utensils. One set of these will be designated "fleishich" for meat; the other set will be designated "miltich" for items prepared with dairy products. All this is from an old testament passage that says, "Thou shalt not seeth a calf in its mother's milk". On the sabbath you will be forbidden to drive, tear toilet paper, cook, watch TV, build a fire,go to a movie or a ballgame, or ride in a bus, train, plane, boat, or taxi. The overwhelming majority of Jews (with the exception of the orthodox) do not follow these ancient pre-scientific prohibitions. Even those that do are not into stoning gay people nor making their lives more difficult.
If you are going to go completely biblical, you better gather a lot of stones because you will have to put to death 98% of American males. You obviously must follow the passage related to stoning those who spill seed.

What's it like to live in a country where the majority of your fellow citizens are ok with gay marriage and don't want to see their gay neighbors attacked, ostracized, or ridiculed??? This far right gay bashing will cause many young Americans to turn their backs even further on the Republican/Tea party circular firing squad. It will greatly contribute to the Republicans losing their third presidential campaign in a row. You folks also serve as the butt of endless television comedy. (google: Vladimir Putin, latent homosexuality). You might even look at yourself regarding that last concept.
Probably time for you to go. Westboro Baptist Church is about to begin their "services". They begin their services with a 3 minute "hate" a la George Orwell's 1984.
All the Christians and Jews, I have known, do not consider hate to be a religious value.
