I don’t get people keep stating what they beleive the Torah Veiw is.

Yet a Gemora was quoted, the exact page was given, stating clearly.

1) One of the things that provide a “Zchus Kiyum” for the Umos HaOlam is the lack of recognition of same gender relations.

2) Rashi explains that this Gemorah is stating that this is even though in private they engaged in such actions.

So anyone who states that it makes no difference to us what the “recognition” on the books is since they are doing it in private anyway is arguring on the way Rashi eexplains a Gemorah.

Anyone who sates that recognition of same gender marriage by the umos haolam cannot have led to widespread destruction is similarly arguing on said Gemorah.

To state that feeling that there may be a connection between the recognition of same gender marriage and the destruction that took place afterwards is not the way of the Torah is a feeling that is not in line with Chazal’s understanding of the Torah since again a Gemorah was qouted and explained where just that is done.
