Well, since the article was about a woman who claimed to be a Christian minister, I think the reference to the New Testament was appropriate. :-) So since the Torah condemns male homosexuality, how does it address female homosexuality? Or did they just pretend it didn't exist?
It doesn't. I read every word closely one year, and I did see that male homosexuality was directly condemned in that passage of Leviticus. But lesbianism is never addressed to my recollection.
Interesting, eh?
Rabbis would undoubtedly take the Leviticus passage (which is immediately followed by admonishments against bestiality) as proof that G-d intends normal heterosexuality. Like the passages that amount to "The Punishment Shall Fit the Crime" which are extensive and specific can be extended to the general theory. So I think one can interpret that G-d doesn't want lesbianism either. But the Torah doesn't come right out and say it.
Kinda like how Kashruth works: "Thou shalt not boil the calf in it's mother's milk" begets the separation of meat and milk. Jews take the Torah to its logical conclusions, and then a bit farther for good measure. :-)
