Deuteronomy 22:28-29
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry her because he has violated her.
How is that not sexist? Is that the justice you would want for your daughter, sister, etc. if that were to happen to them? Does the fact that we put rapists in jail make man's law more moral and just than biblical law?
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done the detestable. They must be put to death.
How is that not homophobic?
