The G-d of the Israelites Says Don’t Lie With A Man As With A Woman; Why It Matters

In the final two readings of a recent Saturday's Torah portion (Acharei Mos (after the death)), G-d told the Hebrews that incest, bestiality, and homosexuality were prohibited sexual activities and that the Canaanite nations defiled themselves by engaging in these forbidden and abominable practices. Refraining from engaging in these practices is the subject of at least 25 of the 613 Mitzvot (commandments) that Jews are required to adhere to in their daily lives.

Jewish and Christian moral-values conservatives should read this Torah portion because it reinforces why we find homosexual marriage to be abominable. We should never surrender our brains to homosexual marriage regardless of whether judicial oligarchs impose it or whether a political action committee executes a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to manipulate a majority of voters into approving it at the ballot box.
