The main characteristic of this party of the Jewish people in the first century was a strict adherence to the law, all 600+ of them. The problem is that they placed the importance in the interpretations of the law, more then in the law it self. It would be more like those today who put more emphasis in what some people say about the Word of God, then what the Word of God actually says. So since the Word of God really does place homosexuals under judgment, then that just plain settles it, there is no interpretation here, it is what God said and that settles it.
