There are an increasing number of scholars who are rejecting the traditional translations and interpretations of the Biblical  ‘clobber texts’.  Now there is a new translation from the Evangelical Theological Society, (The “People’s Bible”), which is reported to have the fascinating interpretative footnote:

“Romans 1:24-27:  Heterosexual men should not exchange their nature for homosexual practices . . . On the same principle, we might infer that homosexuals should not exchange their nature, or orientation, for heterosexual practices.”  (My emphases).

i.e: If you’re gay, then it is straight sex that is sinful.  Amen to that.
