The former are to be killed, the latter are merely annoying.
Be careful quoting the OT passages like this. In context, they describe the law of Moses, which was in force when Israel was theocracy, and has been transcended by a new law in Christ...keep in mind that the purpose of the law was condemnation of the flesh--all of it, not just the gays and lesbians. That is why it says in the OT that no one, none, have attained salvation through the law--and none can have it without accepting the get-out-of-hell-free pass of Christ's atoning sacrifice. The law of Christ is a rather more spiritual proposition. You must love your enemies, and do good to those who hurt you. On the surface this conflicts with the OT stuff--but in reality, it's the same law on a completely different plane. The former is about fleshly prohibitions and punishment for transgressions... the latter about spiritual states-of-being or "be-attitudes" to borrow a Catholic formulation, and their rewards. In the flesh this is law is impossible... maybe you're struggling with the flesh or afflicted by past harm, and that is why you are so eager to apply the law of condemnation? Mote in your own eye and all that... I say this with love, as a friend, but the spirit of unforgiveness in you is strong, if not overpowering, and I suspect really afflicting you deeply. Just be careful about this.

This is a slippery slope used by the Left to justify all the vague inferences of the public harm they concoct to justify their program of class vengeance, masquerading as a love of the common good. > > All AIDS infected persons must be under a strict quarantine for the > rest > of their lives.

Obviously I don't support changing the definition of marriage, which is sort of like changing the definition of "daytime" for everyone just to suit a handful night owls; nor do I particularly oppose civil unions or partnerships per se, if it's all about equal treatment under the law. The whole reason this is an issue is because of the tax benefits given to married couples. But again... if I could get the government out of micromanaging social behavior via the tax code altogether I'd gladly have no benefits to married couples over government sponsored largesse for everybody. The latter, now in vogue with impunity, is the way of bankruptcy and moral death (as we shall soon rediscover, and actually have been rediscovering the last 4 years in particular). One of many non-economic reasons I'm for the traditional tariff revenue system.
