I was thinking about something... The whole basis of ant-homosexuality, basically, is the line in the Bible/Torah that says not to lie with a man like you would a woman or something... And I've been thinking about it, and the reason for it, I think, was not that homosexuality was wrong, but for two things: 1. 'wasting' seed, and 2. sexual tension. In Bibical times and in many religions today, men and women are seperated to 'avoid', you know, sexual tension and feelings and stuff. Well, if little Moshe liked boys, that would, in some peoples' minds, create sexual tension with him and the other boys. I mean, that's basically the reason for all the anti-incest laws in the bible. Back then they didn't know if a brother and a sister had a baby that the baby would be mutated. They just new that it might make the family members living together see each other as sexual partners, and thus create the sexual tension... But this was created when people thought if you put a boy and a girl in a room they'd start going crazy... and that theory is defunct.
Also, there's the no sex without reproducing thing, but who the heck follows that anymore?
