It's amazing. But apparently gay people have monsters growing out of their necks! Or maybe it's dentists. Dentists have monsters growing out of their necks. And they rape angels! All the time, it's all about the angel-rape.

And G-d, despite having written a Bible full of tons of stuff, has an amazing preoccupation with homosexuality. Not shrimp, and not charity, and certainly not loving thy neighbor as thyself, it's all about the sex.

(I suspect that this says more of the minds of the readers than the writer)

What I read in a Christian magazine called "Christ for Everybody" was that Paul was specifically referring to Sacred Prostitution. Since ritual sex is not part of most Christian sects, it's not a problem, really. To the Christian, homosexuality should be taken to be on-par with eating bacon and eggs for breakfast, a non-issue under the New Covenant.

Since Paul's a dirty fucking misogynist, I've never bothered to try and understand his writings from the original Greek. I'm pre-Socratic/Pythagorean/Neo-Platonist when it comes to Greek philosophy anyway, so I don't bother too much with Pauline stuff.

It's entirely possible that Paul was one of the homophobes who are secretly gay themselves.

That could explain the intense mysogyny, perhaps. Christian osmoconsciousness strikes me as being perversely both homoerotic and homophobic all at once. It scares me, really.
