The biblical references
 
The damnation of gay men is based on the misunderstanding of eight words in the Bible, which have resulted in the persecution and eradication of gay men throughout the last 2000 years.
     
The biblical references on the right are a complete listing of all citations of 'Sodomy' and or 'Sodom' in both the Old and New Testaments and nowhere is the 'sin of Sodom' or the 'act of Sodomy' cited as being homosexual sex.  
Genesis 13:13, Genesis 18:20, Genesis 19:1-29
 
Deuteronomy 23:17-18, 1Kings 14:22-24
 
Isaiah 3:9, Jude 1:7-8, Luke 17:25-32, 2 Peter 2:6-9
 
It is of vital importance to note that neither Jesus nor Paul, the chief architect of Christianity, ever cited Sodom or Sodomy as a sin denoting homosexual sex or ever referred to Sodom in any of their sayings or writings.
 
In support of the above claim the Revised English Bible, UK's main Bible which was ratified by representatives of all the Christian denominations and written under the chairmanship of the Archbishop of Canterbury, omitted all homosexual references from Paul's Letters to the Romans, Corinthians and Timothy, whereas previous editions established Paul's homophobia. This makes it clear that "Holy scripture" far from being sacrosanct or inviolable, is subject to post-modern interpretation and political correctness.
