I want to add my two cents worth to the discussion sparked by Sonya's post on Judaism and homosexuality. I don't agree with Sonya that halcaha is used as an excuse to hide homophobia. As several posts have made clear, the halachic prohibition of homosexual relations is clear and absolute. If I understand it correctly, the prohibition is d'oraita - in the Torah itself, and thus resistant to rabbinic interpretation.
