Yeah I really want to see like a queer theologians perspective on this idea though. The Bible talks a lot about man and woman and how they have to be together, but I wonder how you apply this to modern day. My gut response is that when the Bible was being written, the idea of gender and long-term non hetero relationships weren’t a thing. But I know there had to have been some people nonconforming to gender even if they weren’t explicitly thinking along those lines and some sort of non-hetero relationships that went beyond married men having boy lovers.
The short answer is you don’t. Leviticus says you shall not lay with a man as you lay with a woman, usually interpreted as marriage. Corinthians takes it a little farther by saying all homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.
