Below is an article about high rates of suicide among LGBTQIA raised in Christian families, which is connected with the wrong biblical interpretation of homosexual relationships that many churches have today. These interpretations still resemble medieval perspectives about sex and do not take into account the evolution of the meaning of the word "sodomy" throughout centuries.

But we're pretty much speaking to Bible believers of long standing traditional interpretations, using traditional Bible symbology to gather meanings.
I find your link to be very educational concerning the Bible, and it's original meanings.
I wonder how others out here take it ... those that have no problem forgiving King David ... if they take it at all.
