Bigcalv, you're cherrypicking Leviticus in a highly biased manner.

"18 ‘If there is a man who lies with a menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people."

Please call for the complete shunning of all men who have seen their naked wives during menstruation with the same force that you condemn gay loving relationships.

You don't have a choice about this if you are going to propound Leviticus so adamantly in its traditional interpretation. The same goes for the rest of the chapter.

Some of us, however, take the new testament seriously when it says that Christians are relieved of the burden of that literal enslavement to Leviticus.

I don't even ask my heterosexual friends what they do when their wives are menstruating.

As you know, I believe that in context, those quotations refer to male exploitation of males as a substitute for women, along the lines of what is done in prison. (Same with Romans.) But even if one takes the worst-case scenario, it is still part of a law canon that bans the eating of pork and many other animals, whereas:

"11 and he saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, 12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. 13 A voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” 15 Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”

What God has cleansed with God's love, bigcalv, no longer consider unholy. And think to yourself, how could something that God Godself called unholy become holy? Is it because God changed or because the situation changed? Why would the situation change about something so simple as eating pork and shellfish and rabbits? Can you come down from thundering for a moment and render an explanation?

God's grace be with us, for we surely need it.
