I want to teach them a lesson about how life works. Anyways, Jesus himself, as far as I know, said nothing about homosexuality. But Leviticus GREATLY detests it.
Leviticus 18:20 is actually about outlawing sexual practices associated with the worship of gods other than Yahweh, which involved men having sex with male temple prostitutes. Hence the use of the term lie down as opposed to uncover the nakedness which is the term for sex used in the verses before which outlaw various forms of incest. It does make sense, considering King David and Jonathan are portrayed being in a homosexual relationship in 1 Samuel.
Itsthesuperfly did a fantastic video talking about the apparent homophobic passages in the bible and offers the real meaning of these verses. Which are more about condemning things like idolatry or self mutilation.
It is noteworthy Jesus said nothing about homosexual sexual relations is strange. Because he talked a fair bit about adultery and divorce.
