[Larry-Hill22948]

One view of the restriction in Deuteronomy of ‘Lying with a man as you would lay with a woman’ is that the Baal-Preor cult of the Canaanites included a crop fertility rite that that involved having sex with a temple prostitute. These prostitutes were both male and female, and this act was considered idolatry, which was a capital offense. No one knows for sure if this is what was being prohibited, or if homosexuality was. The absense of a similar injunction against women is sugests that more than orientation was the issue here.
