No you made the claim, now it is time for you to prove, that your Catholic view of the bible is credible, and you need to do so with scientific evidence. If you cannot do that, then do the right thing, and admit the bible is not the correct way to view human behaviors.
I am quite sure you already accept that the Quran contains no scientific evidence that defends the need for a woman to wear a burka.
Don't hit and run. Prove that Catholic interpretation of gays is scientifically sound.
I think I will take this up.
First, why do you think that the Catholic interpretation of gays (whatever that is) must by "scientifically sound"? What IS the Catholic position on why people have homosexual orientation, Brian? Are you thoroughly familiar with the Church's position on this matter?
Second, is the "scientific" position the only consideration? Or are there theological considerations that the Church must consider also?
