Okay. Here's my theory. Pushing aside all the genetic stuff about being born gay, whatevs, the simple fact is that when the Bible was written (no, not by the hand of God although I'll go along with Inspired by the Divine Spirit), there were hardly any people in the world.
Life was tough. Even if Israel was not the dusty wasteland always depicted in movies, the tools to work the land and provide a living were crude and much of the work was manual. How do you get more free labor to work on your farm? You have kids. You do everything you can to encourage people to have kids.
If two guys are getting it on, if two women are getting it on, there is nil chance that a baby will result from that. So stop doing that and go on make yourself a little field hand. There's a good chance that if you have a small number of boys, there won't be so much fighting over the land and if you have a larger number of girls, at least one will be taken off the marriage mart to tend to you in your old age because there were no Sunrise Villages back in the old days.
So. That's my take.
The world is full now. Do as you please. Just remember to be kind.
