The passage deals with immoral behavior among heterosexuals who have converted from Christianity to Paganism and engaged in behavior which is against their nature. There is no real connection between:
-Former Christians in the first century CE who have returned to Paganism and engaged in sexual orgies, and
-Persons with a homosexual orientation who have entered into a loving, committed relationship or same-sex marriage.
