Note that lesbians are never mentioned or condemned. Booya.
I was going to bring that up, too. Apparently, the ancient Hebrews also felt that girl-on-girl is hawt and dude-on-dude is icky. They just ramped it up a few notches with the executions, and whatnot.
On a more serious note, I can see this being tied into population growth and/or a simple means of control. Hell, it'd make sense if we found out that a neighboring tribe openly allowed homosexuality and they didn't want to associated with them. The Bible is not shy about talking about the tribal tendencies of the Hebrews and their god.
