Arguments Against Homosexuality

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with [[::Homosexuality|Homosexuality]]. (Discuss)

Opposition to homosexuality comes primarily from religious groups (on moral grounds).

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. 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.
