The 'UberGod' may have a different opinion on that subject since from the context we're exploring here, he didn't make those 'rules' in the OT. If you're familiar with the Gnostic concept of 'yhwh' being the 'demiurge',....you'll see that those 'rules' in the OT were made/ limited to that small tribe of 'yhwh-worshippers' in Palestine,....as it did not apply to any of the Gentile nations, since this 'god' was jealously seeking his own 'cult', with their own mark (circumcision), priesthood, covenant-promises, etc. These later translate out onto a universal level for all peoples, as all are united in the Messiah, who recognize the 'Christ' within.
On a universal level many of these symbols do apply to all peoples, but such language is figurative, for all people who accept the True God (The One and Only).... are made God's people (become 'Is-Ra-el'), in special covenant-relationship, because they are 'One with the Spirit' (joining their heart and will with The One) and have recognized the living truth which unites them in divine Sonship with the Universal Father. All peoples are immersed into The One, by recognizing their true origin, and become 'holy' even as God is holy, when all that is false is abandoned and only the truth is held (there being a true discernment/separation from what is 'real' and 'unreal' in spiritual value and meaning). Such is the path of integrity. Such is the 'seperating' of truth from falsehood, where one is 'set apart' in service of truth.

We've treated the old worn out subject of the Bible and homosexuality here and elsewhere. A proper education therein is recommended.

Did I miss anything or... Now don't pretend you don't know me. Someone here is glad I am back and I want to know who! And please don't say Jesus.
