Oh, well, if a 2,000 year old book written by people who couldn't even get decent lube says so then who am I to argue.
Most of that is just Sodom and Gomorrah. God has more to say about what to do with slaves and how to treat them compared to sexual relations between two people.
Iirc that might have been mistranslated and it actually meant don't rape male children.
Religion is the excuse, not the cause. There's a fair number of religious institutions which are queer friendly or at least queer-indifferent. You gravitate towards the religious group that echoes your own biases. Those biases aren't imbued by some supernatural force. They're the result of material incentives and social divides that demagogues exploit when they fashion a religious doctrine.
