"God" did not command the execution of gay people. Whoever wrote the part of the Bible which says this did . You are blindly accepting the words of someone who lived during the bronze age thousands of years ago , when people thought the world was flat and did not not where the sun goes at night . They were primitive middle eastern tribesmen . And YOU want gay people to be executed because of this blind ancient superstition ? Are you nuts ? This is the 21st century , the digital age, and your mind, if it can even be called a mind, is still stuck thousands of years in the past . Wake up !!!
The question today is completely different.
1, God did command the execution of any variation from married male-female intercourse, in any variation you can think of.
2, Ptolemy in the 1st century did know the vastness of the universe in a mathematical sense, so when Christ and the apostles taught, they knew mathematically they were not in a hot-house universe (to view Christ in human terms). The Torah was given only about 1500 before that, and there have been many prohibitions on sexual variety in many other cultures. There are also many indicators that there is advanced mathematics all over the world before the deluge, which is before the giving of the Torah.
3, the question today is what things are necessary ongoing socially. Many ceremonial, dietary or ritual things from the Torah are not, but the apostles (through Christ's own authorized teaching) validated many of the moral teaching. Circumcision was prescribed on a person's 8th day because of a saturation of vitamin K which maximizes clotting. The ancients didn't know about the saturation, but it is hard to call this an antiquated law. There are many examples like that. I know of no social necessity for homosexuality--it should be obvious for the sake of 'diversity' that a child be raised with both male and female parents. For emotional intelligence, for one. 12 year old girls should not have to talk to homosexual men about menarche.
When the apostles referred to homosexuality, they actually said it was men-having-sex-with-men, as far as what the Greek term meant. There is no theory here, no mystical language; it was that act.
So the question becomes how much tolerance. The idea that everything is to be tolerated or embraced is ludicrous. It is feel-good nonsense. Thomas Mann, writing from Dachau, said 'To tolerate evil is to participate in it.' Homosexuality might not run a society down the same way as 'last time,' but nonsensical tolerance will; I was in a Bible study this week where people thought we should have ISIS folk come live here. There are quite a few distinctions we make all the time; lately they have tended to be environmental, but the ones that have uplifted women have tended to be based in historic Christian truth.
Even with hundreds of injuries all around, some will still say 'we need more love and acceptance.' The destructive people just love to hear that.
The idea that gender identity 'needs' to be taught as in WA state is destructive nonsense. The John Hopkins journal of medicine declared gender-change as mental illness. Are we supposed to change that by pop vote? It is a hopeless, confusing worldview making sure as much of the population is as confused as it is. As with anything occurring in 0.002% of the population, see the counselor. Don't put it on the level of mathematics. But, of course, it is years since the public school system had any respect for the Christian worldview.
