	1. It sounds like this is against gays who have a lot of
	partners ( note it says "mankind" ).  So perhaps only one
	or two are ok?

	2. Also, it seems to only call it an abomination when you
	*lie* with mankind.  Perhaps if you *stand* during sex
	then it is ok?

	Taking 1 and 2 together, it seems that what the Bible is
	against is gay orgies where everyone lies down.
