There are many '''arguments against homosexuality''' based on religious grounds and on its effects on society which include the [[Health and Homosexuality|negative health effects of homosexuality]] and the [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|homosexual relationships experience more violence]].  

[[Judeo-Christian]] objections nearly always refer to the Bible, which, it is argued, condemns homosexual acts in both Old and New Testaments. For example, Leviticus 18:22 says, "A man shall not lie with man as with a woman."  However, an argument can be made that this particular verse refers to male homosexual acts performed as part of a Pagan ritual and not as an explicit condemnation of homosexual acts outright.<ref>http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibh.htm</ref>  Similarly, one chapter later we see Leviticus 19:27 admonishing against cutting one's hair or trimming one's beard, but while the verse itself does not state so explicitly, in the context of the chapter this rule is not a general guideline, rather it is clearly only meant to apply when these actions are committed as part of an act of mourning.<ref>http://www.karaite-korner.org/shaving.shtml</ref>
