97. Nope, that's one interpretation -- at least for the NT

part.

It's the one most easily assumed by people eager to find a rationale for a bias against homosexuals. But it's most certainly NOT the only way to interpret Paul's words. And the gospels? Nothing to say whatever on the topic.

Now the OT, in Leviticus, certainly has a pretty damning bit. But unless you're also spending time worrying about whether you're wearing clothing made from different fibers, stoning people for adultry and eschewing all matter of shellfish and pork, I'd say we're hitting a hypocracy wall with that.
