Technically correct, but it repeatedly condemns acts of homosexuality. The seems like splitting rabbits.

Some feminists contend that rape is an act of control, rather than sex. One example that seems to fit this conception is the rape of Butch and Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction. Regardless of whether the rapist's desires are motivated by a desire to control or a desire for delicious same-sex booty, the bible condemns both acts equally, regardless of the motivating cause. There's also the case of bicurious people who engage in same-sex acts despite not having a homosexual orientation. So, no, there is not a necessary implication there that the bible is condemning homosexual oriented persons for who they are. In the same vein, scholars have suggested that the objection to same-sex acts was less about any sexual orientation, as they had no words for such, but rather the destabilizing influence of people engaging in acts which lie outside their prescribed gender roles, similar to how people argue against both gay marriage and transgenderism.
