Like I said, I somehow get the feeling Christianity and Islam’s distaste for homosexuality might also be related to fear of witchcraft. That’s if you extrapolate from not only witchcraft studies and early modern reports but also from communities like Valangi and Azande that still believe in similar things. Both of them explicitly associate lesbianism with witchcraft, a similar sentiment as echoed in Renaissance documents.
I do think some Christians (and Muslims) might be missing out something in understanding why Bible and Koran despise homosexuality which in this case needs further studying and evidence to back it up. Especially from extrapolating data from both Renaissance lore and contemporary witch-hunts and accusations.
If the disdain for homosexuality’s connected to witchcraft, as believed by Azande and Valangi but also Renaissance Europeans, then Koranic and Biblical writers might be onto something.
