Hey, look, Dr. Laura is the one who actually quotes Leviticus to 
people as proof that homosexuality is evil.  If the rest of Leviticus 
is a lot of outdated rubbish about rituals, and a lot of it is, that's 
exactly the point.  If modern people can wear linen and wool together 
despite what it says in Leviticus, and eat shrimp despite what it 
says in Leviticus, then a man can have sex with a man despite what it 
says in Leviticus.  (Way more fun than mixing fibers, or even eating 
shrimp.)
