Some Christians who take a traditionalist line about same-sex erotic behavior are quick to supply extrabiblical context to their exegesis on other matters in the name of preserving biblical inerrancy (e.g., GotQuestions on the question of eating meat sacrificed to idols) or defending current practices that are prima facie at odds with biblical injunctions (e.g., Ben Witherington on women teaching men). Yet they demur about doing so in the name of extending the right hand of fellowship to actively bisexual, lesbian, and gay Christians, despite a ready supply of much less speculative (albeit not uncontested; see Gagnon, Wright, and Loader) extrabiblical context that may similarly qualify the New Testament clobber texts on the subject.
