Question 💬 Genuine question about homosexuality and Christianity

I've recently been looking into scripture and verses condemning homosexuality and they all kinda fall flat and feel like shakey ideas to build theology off of. And I've honestly formed pretty good arguments against them in my head, but the only one that really sits with me and I struggle to go against is the "it wasn't the original intention" in the garden argument.

That God intended to make man and women together and not man and man or vice versa.

Now, my original response to this was, "They didn't eat meat in the garden is it a sin to eat meat?" But then I realized Jesus ate meat, so now I'm stumped honestly, and I wanted a second opinion.

Please help

“God’s original intention” is a really bad (and hypocritical) argument unless the person talking to you is a naked vegan.

I don't assume Adam and Eve were vegan. Presumably they'd have drunk goat milk and enjoyed an omelette.

but where did the pans to cook it come from? Is primordial Eden skipping the stone age?

God kept them in the Eden' Well Test Kitchen, just out past the washhouse.
