What rights do you think homosexual pairs should have?
Last years there's been a lot of debating about homosexuals' rights in the society here (as well as in many other countries). Recently the Swedish church decided that all their priests have to perform a kind of blessing act of homosexual pairs. Of course that made some conservative "what the Bible says is the ultimate truth"-priests go crazy. Here is an open letter to those which I found and attempted to translate (however I don't know how the chapters of the Bible should be translated):
Also found I quite fashinating video from 1965 produced by The National Board of Health and Welfare, US. Check out clip (klipp) nr 43:

Open letter to the priests who have signed the appeal against blessing of homosexuals.
I am going to sell my doughter as a slave (2nd Mos 21:7). What would be a reasonable prize?
3rd Mos 21:20 clearly states that I can own both male as well as female slaves from a neighbouring country. A friend of me claims that this only holds for people outside the European Union. Could he be right?
My neighbour who works at Wal-Mart insists of working Sundays too. According to 2nd Mos 35:2 he has to be slayed. Am I moral responsible to do this myself?
I do not visit church since I’m suffering from great short-sightedness and according to 3rd Mos 21:20 I cannot approach the altar of God if my vision is bad. Min son will be confirmed and it would be nice to see how he behaves in church. Is it okey if I sit in the entrance?
Could my children start training football in our local club when 3rd Mos 11:7-8 says they cannot touch the rests after a ded pig? Or do they just have to continue playing at home with a plastic ball?
A farmer here around persists with growing different crops on the same soil and hence commits a sin according to 3rd Mos 19:19. He has also a bad habit of swearing a lot. His wife isn’t much better either since she persists to dress herself in clothes made of more than one kind of fabric (usually cotton and polyester). Is it then necessary to gather the whole village together and stone them? (3rd Mos 24:10-16.) Why can’t we just burn them at the stake as we used to do with people who sleeps with their relatives (3rd Mos 20:14)?
I know you priests have gone to the bottom with these questions so I’m looking forward to clear and straight answers.
Huge thanks to you upright priests who clearly shows that the word of God is everlasting and unchangeable.
