Heterosexual men chose to dick down men rather than an ugly woman(really....really)? Makes you wonder how the ugly women of the world seem to get laid so easily in any town -other than- this pretend one.
I'd say that trumps the bibles line on ridiculous and complicatory (wewt...if webster can do it so can I) bullshit alone, and doesn't make the job of justifying whatever action or position is to be taken any easier. The bible handles it pretty simply- they offend god, fuck em up. Both are absurd, mind you, I just can't honestly decide between the two which I should point and laugh at the hardest. I think that maybe your opinion of which narrative is easier to justify hinges on your upbringing and familiarity., rather than any sort of dry appraisal of each relative to each other. Christians probably think that the bible is easier to justify than the quran. I'd also add that many christians seem to approach the OT alot like muslims seem to approach the hadiths, from a practical standpoint. The NT is their quran, the OT is sideline literature, full of "good ideas" but not the final word.
The story might not make sense, but the Quran can't be used as a definite condemnation of homosexuals. For that you would need hadiths.
