The word Homosexual is the standard English word describing sexual relations between two men or two women. It is what Romans chapter one is describing. I can't see how that passage could be misinterpreted. I have very little knowledge of Hebrew but, have found that usually one Hebrew word will be translated into one English phrase of three or four words. Also, the meaning of the Hebrew word is effected by the words around it. Not so much like an English word which can have two completely different definitions depending on usage. But, something a little more subtle. Bottom line: I am neither qualified nor have the resources to agree or disagree with your articles conclusions. All I can say is the New Testament makes it clear what God's opinion is regarding homosexuals. He terms it "vile affections". It is a sin just like adultery and unlawful fornication and many other things.
