Leviticus 20 is good old fashioned Jewish fun. These are rules for the people living directly under Moses. They are called: Mosaic Law.
Mosaic law quite literally isn't for everyone, which is apparent if you actually read your Bible. For example:
Leviticus 2:1 - "When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it 2 and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 3 But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the Lord's food offerings."
I'm not advocating for homosexuality, merely pointing out context. But I was falsely accused of being gay when I was 12, I was beaten and bullied over it until I was 16, enough that it seriously hampered my ability to find a girlfriend and left me with PTSD. Luckily got married at 20 to a woman who agrees that the man is the authority of the house, day care is bad, homeschool is good.
My point is, commandment I'm the Bible almost always have a context in which they are placed.
