I read the whole Torah carefully, and gay male sex is definitely and specifically prohibited.
Otoh, lesbian sex is not mentioned.

I've always thought that a prohibition of lesbianism would have put the kibosh on polygamy which was common throughout the Torah's timeframe. Who knows what was going on in the boudoirs of husbands with multiple wives?

Rabbi Steven Greenberg, who refers to himself as “the first openly gay Orthodox rabbi”.

Otoh, lesbian sex is not mentioned.That's true, there's no direct prohibition so it's less controversial. There are Rabbinic concerns. Particularly regarding long term relationships which interfere with procreation.

I’m not Jewish, but it seems even clearer for them that sex between men is prohibited. Christians that want to make up their own morality simply fit those parts of the Old Testament into “the law” that Jesus changed.

I think it’s safe to say that any sex that’s NOT between husband and wife and CAN’T lead to conception is strictly a no-no in the Torah.
