I find quite comical that you actually just compared laws against homosexuality to laws against being black (typical). I never read a bible story about homosexuals getting the death penalties, but I read about 400+ years of horror on blacks in America. So I find your "comparison" quite offensive. I highly doubt you're in a position to speak for black people. Maybe you're the bigot and possibly racist or just plain ignorant.
What do I mean by "reconsider your views"? I mean the same thing you did.
Are you completely ignorant?
There's still a few countries in the world where homosexuality is punishable by death ( and yes, they are very religious countries, although, in some, lesbians are fine ). Up until the 1960s, homosexuality was illegal in Britain, and the government's countermeasures to this perceived crime drove many to suicide.
Sodom and Gomorrah is a bible story about homosexuals getting the death penalty.
BTW Sodom and Gomorrah was not punished for being "homosexuals". I'm not sure where you got that from.
