Since homosexuality is nothing new, there were most likely gays that Jesus could have brought into his circle of inclusion. But instead Paul writes in the New Testament that "men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men" is a carnal sin worthy of being put to death.
I don't think there is any means of misinterpretation here:

It is passages like these that make me believe that there is no hope for the em-betterment of our species, the granting of equal rights towards all and a just and inclusive society until the bonds to religion are broken. There are similar passages in just about ever other religious tome. It's these hateful passages that people blindly take on faith that cause so many, many people to vote "No" when it comes to gay marriage.
