Homosexuality
From Halachipedia
Homosexuality is prohibited and is punishable by "karet"(severance).[1]
The prohibition of homosexuality
- A man may not lie sexually with another man. The punishment for doing so is karet and HaShem considers the act to be a "to'eva"( perversion).[2]
- Sexual contact with another man is forbidden through the prohibition of arousing sexual thoughts. [3]
- If one notices a desire for homosexuality(or any forbidden activity), they must recognize and acknowledge it. [4]
- As with any forbidden activity, one must take precautions to prevent oneself from engaging in it; all the more so when challenged with a desire for it.[5]
