If we look at the Ten Commandments they only proscribe things that are harmful to others.
So perhaps rather than ascribing moral authority to the Law we should look at what is harmful to others and what is not.
The only reference to sex is adultery which is harmful to the marriage partner in particular.
There is no prohibition on masturbation.
And the references to homosexuality are part of a long list of things which are questionable in the Law.
Homosexuality is harmful to no one.
So we should not include homosexual sex among those things which God proscribes.
Incest, rape, pedophilia, and violence are all harmful to others.
It is these things that God proscribes.
