These are Christians. They view the OT as the Jewish Law of Moses. Their views on homosexuality are from NT, specifically the Book of Romans (among other NT scriptures). And they view the writers of the NT to be inspired of G-d, which means the things they wrote were as if G-d wrote them himself.

No one's going to get anywhere quoting Leviticus. Holy Crap! If you're going to do this kind of thing you at least need to do some basic research, which would have avoided this kind of shit.
