our society is struggling with both sides of the girl-lover issue
many parents expect their child to be like themselves=marry the opposite sex
a pair of girls needs to be protected from those who call them queer or worse
where did we get our values? mostly from society considering we were born from "mixed marriages"
what do religions say?
i do not know many religions on this issue, but what i know i can quote
rabbinic judaism says a pair of men who perform "lay like a woman" deserve the death penalty in mishna sanhedrin
push them both off a roof.
unless they "come out of the closet" revealing their secret, then they are not believed and are not punished. until caught by witnesses.
a similar idea is in "the written tora" leviticus but certainly only a metaphor
to literally do the words is "always" silly and in this case to kill is cruel. far from justice to kill someone who did not kill especially by biblical standards of "eye for eye" metaphor for measured punishments.
girl-lovers were never forbidden and what IS forbidden is ADDING a new law beyond the 365 "donts" such as forbidding something.
the need for tosfot to write a very descriptive orgy is only due to the biblical definition of sin with the word "seed"
when i studied that comment as a teen i almost fainted at the details
!
*****parental guidance required for those under 17
tosfot the rabbinic commenter, describes a wife who transfers her mans seed from her reproductive organ to another girls reproductive organ
sorry for the details
tosfot specificly permits this and the need to permit it, is because of the seed, which is the "factor" in the bible defining sin. sins include the factor of seed. no similar act was ever forbidden. the only discussion was when the act has this factor. to be continued...
