10. I would say
Judge not lest ye be judged.

The passage she quoted, btw, was from Leviticus. It is really talking about sodomizing of prisoners of war, I believe-check with a Talmudic scholar to make sure. I have read somewhere that this is one interpretation. Anyway, also in Leviticus it says it is an abomination (same terminology as for gay sex) to wear clothes of mixed fibers or to eat meat and milk at the same meal. Might want to ask the gal if her church forbids eating cheeseburgers.

The other verses they love to quote come from Paul's letter to the Corinthians; it is quoted out of context, as the rest of that chapter talks about female prostitutes and sex in general getting in the way of one's spiritual development.

Finally, you may simply ask what words of Jesus Himself condemns gays. There aren't any.
