None of what he said really made sense following the incarnation. Those were all proscriptions of the LAW that were done away with, or rather fulfilled and transformed... but natural law is fixed, like gravity. Moreover, the NT is rife with references to homosexuality as an "abomination". Romans, 1 Timothy, 1 Corinthians...There’s an interesting distinction between moral and ceremonial law as described in Paul’s writings that makes for thought provoking reading. James Akin has a popularized version here: <http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/work-law.htm>
I don’t see anything in the NT that indicates that the moral prescriptions and proscriptions in the OT are done away with. However, the ‘Works of the Law,’ the works that constituted the distinctive ceremonial markers for the Jews as followers of YHWH were done away with as requirements for gentiles...or so the thinking goes.
The West Wing episode was well done...but it knocks down a straw man.
But again... its the whole creation and salvation narrative that makes the case for how disordered homosexuality is, not just isolated biblical sound bites.
