Just fyi. The original Hebrew version is anti pedo not anti gay. I’m certain this link won’t be popular, but . …timesofisrael.com/redefining-leviticus-2013/

The thing that bothers me with that explanation, is that if "where the Torah is concerned, every word counts" - why didn't they use the word 'boy' instead of the more ambiguous 'male'? Seems an intentional choice to refer to men and boys together.

Also Leviticus is old testament. So this is less relevant/generally superceded by newer text.

Only for Christians. I would assume this still holds for Jewish people, as well as some christians who still holds to the Old Testament due to Jesus saying that the old text will not be superceded.

Can I do it the other way round? Like how people ask for forgiveness before doing the sin

Iirc Oregon or Colorado legalized pot and gay marriage at virtually the same time. I remember the memes of a freaked out preacher yelling “NO NOT LIKE THAT!!” lol. Good times.

Everyone asks why are you gay? But I want to ask, “Why are you boxer?”.
