Sorry, Chris, but that sounds like an "it is what it is" answer - the old "I am right because I am right".
The Bible was written (and interpreted) in the mores and culture of the time (slavery, dietary, treatment of women, tribal warfare, etc) - the world has moved on in its understanding of why things are, or do not need to be (dietary re diseases and worms in food, slavery replaced by automation, treatment of women by treating them (mostly) as equals) - why should other things be any different, such as how we treat homosexuals?
Why is it some scripture is, excuse the phrase, gospel, but other parts aren't?
