I think the rub lies in the fact that the bible says a lot of things that no one follows. I read a really good article about it once, which I, of course, can't find now. But, it basically went through all the things that people couldn't do, or would have to do, if the bible was followed verbatim. The point was that the bible was written a long time ago and parts of it are accepted as no longer relevant. So, who's to say that the edicts against homosexuality are any more relevant than these other things deemed irrelevant now.
