Actually, you misunderstood what I wrote. In ancient times, homosexuality was often thought of as essentially different from heterosexuality in every way (e.g. Ancient Greece). Accordingly, the Commandment against adultery may well not have been understood by early readers of the Scriptures to condemn homosexual relationships outside a heterosexual marriage. As such, all Biblical references to homosexuality may well be irrelevant today, as they may have been written to prevent what we would now call homosexual adultery.
