Old Testament Bible verses that are ignored

This is an interesting (though very angry) page about how people will quote Leviticus 20:13 when referring to gay sex as an abomination yet seem to forget a lot of other parts of that book... such as:

"If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has discovered her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from her people." (Leviticus 20:18)

"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." (Leviticus 19:27)

"...do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear material woven of two kinds of material." (Leviticus 19:19)

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property." (Leviticus 25:44-45)

Seems like there's all sorts of stuff in Leviticus (and the rest of the bible) that people are willing to overlook... except when it comes to two dudes kissing.
