And what about the whole wearing clothes mixing of fabrics? I don't believe that was ever cleared up/excused scripturally. Abrahamic-based faiths fail to actually understand what the Levitical laws were for. It's sad.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
