Religious quotes and homosexuality (bisexuality is not specifically mentioned as usual)

More internet surfing reveals the following page which analyses the quotes in the bible that some Christians use to bash us.
http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibl.htm
The website concludes that the bible condemns the following behaviour

Male rape of other men.  (And so it should)
One of two behaviors:
Either men engaging in ritual sex in Pagan temples, or (I suppose temples could be considered an inappropriate place for sex,)
Men having sex in a woman's bed. (If a partner has sex with someone else in your bed without your permission you would be pissed off wouldn't you!)
People having sex that violates their sexual orientation. For example:
Heterosexuals having sex with a member of the same sex.
Homosexuals having sex with a member of the opposite sex.(I wondered how they concluded this, why they think sexual orientation is so easy to define and how they view people confused about their sexuality who may be experimenting as a way of discovering themselves)
Men sexually abusing children. The passage also condemns young victims of sexual molestation.  (Fair enough, but DON'T condem the victim)
People engaging in bestiality: having sex with non-humans. (animals can not consent so fair enough) I wrote my comments in brackets

i'm not religious but I find it interesting to look at why and how people use the bible to condem us.
