Interesting conversation. Sociology and social norms - as well as social deviance - are quite interesting things to study. As the world continues to evolve, I'm always reminded that change is the only constant.
Brevity is the soul of wit.

You may not know this. There is a controversy brewing among moder-day translators of whatever languages the bible is written in, that the verses translated into English (and by extension, all other languages) condemning homosexuality have been mistranslated either ignorantly or deliberately. I wont get into the motivations behind the English translations, I'll just let you know how some translators say that verse in the OT about man laying with man ought to be translated.
"A man shall not lie with another man in the marriage bed."
If that translation is correct, men can do the chocolate chute thing as long as they dont do it in the bed either of them shares with their own wife. Of course (well obviously of course), this modern translation is thouroughly rejected by pretty much all of Christendom. Well, it would be wouldn't it?
The interesting thing about Truth is that Truth is still Truth even if the devil speaks it. The interesting thing about Lies is that Lies are still Lies even if God speaks them.

The song of songs is, in all likelihood, homosexual erotica.

REALLY? Evidence?
If that's true, how hilarious. We had a segment as the reading at our wedding.

Such as the pronouns being nuetered in translation but decidely masculine, or a woman with male body parts addressing "her" male lover? Or older scraps found in Qumram Cave#4 that give us names?
(this should be in the translation notes..the Revised Standard Version makes this plainly clear)
(I'll dredge up some links for you)
Hmn, tough to find anything I'd consider an objective source. The debate as to wether or not it is homosexual erotica hinges on the translations of
"asher leselomoh" and "kalla"
The trouble is that there is no overt distinction, or even a consensus upon how many speakers there are in the verses, since it switches back and forth from masculine and feminine, mostly spoken in the masculine, but sometimes speaking in feminine as well.
