I'm no Bible expert, but I'm told that Leviticus was pretty much a desert survival guide for a travelling army.
It was pretty much saying to the troops: 'If you are feeling lonely, please don't fuck each other and also, stay away from the crayfish'.

Why
would the bible contain an army manual? Thought we loved our nieghbours? I'm no scholar of it either, but it is all supposed to be the word of god, they tell me.

The answer from Keith covers it more intelligently than I could

Well written indeed. But inconclusive:
"In summary: I don't believe that Jewish law does consider homosexual acts to be immoral. It prohibits them, but that is not the same thing."
I don't really see how the morality matters as much as the legality.

Nah, you read the wrong answer. Try reading the one from Keith.

I'm not sure that helps much
as it seems to suggest god didn't know how the reproductive system, that he designed, works. As that is pretty basic, it seems fair to assume god didn't know what he was talking about.
So although 'no homosexuality' is stated in the bible, it was stated by someone with very limited knowledge and can therefore be discounted, even if it was for a specific occasion and not aimed at all mankind for all time.

Probably.
I reckon it went something like "Jacob! For fuck's sake! And you too Gary, again, fucking hell! Look, we're on a march here, stop fucking each other every time we stop. Leviticus - Leviticus! Can you stop writing everything I say down? Wait till we get to the battle."
