Boswell and most other polemicists promoting homoeroticism contend that the Hebrew word tōʻēḇā, usually translated abomination as in Lv. 18: 22, seldom refers to something intrinsically evil, like rape or theft, ... but something which is ritually unclean for Jews, like eating pork or printing marks on one's flesh, or against mixed fabrics.
