Homophobia in the Empire State.

I see a lot of homophobia coming to the forefront now that Governor Cuomo has legalized same sex marriage in New York state (and good for him, I say). I notice a large number of people quoting from their "bible", especially from Leviticus 18:22: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Let's take a look at some other quotes from that same book, shall we?
How about Leviticus 20:9: "For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9) So according to the bible, anyone who "curses" their parents should receive the death penalty.

Here's another: Leviticus 25:44-45 states:
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property." (Leviticus 25:44-45) So your holy book also condones slavery.

How about Leviticus 19:27, where it says: "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." (Leviticus 19:27)
So I guess all barbershops better hang up their "Out of Business" signs now or suffer protests for unchristian behavior.

Let's talk diet. I'm sure all of you good christians are familiar with Leviticus 11:7 "...and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you." Bye-bye Dinosaur BBQ, et. al. You are unchristian restaurants and must cease and desist operation.

Red Lobster anyone? Well, not after reading Leviticus 11:10 which definitively informs us that "But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." So eating shrimp or lobster is just as bad as gay sex.

How do you like wearing those nice silk/linen blends? You are an infidel, because the bible clearly commands in Leviticus 19:19: "...do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothes woven of two kinds of material."

Something for you zealots to contemplate. Maybe the lot of you should spend more time reading your entire bible, not just the parts that justify your hatred and intolerance.
