Not all pharisees were legalist. The people come immediately to mind. However, even the cavemen of Bible scholars agree leglaism was epidemic amongst the Pharisees.
There are too many similarities between attitudes of legalists and homsexuals to be coincidnece. Just because there are a few differences between the two doesn't mean the similarities aren't there`
You keep saying the Pharisees obeyed all the laws of Moses. That is not true. When the pharisees brought the woman caught in adultery, there was no record of the man being charged with adultery. THe pharisees were selective about which laws of Moses they kept and when they kept them. The spirit of the pharisee is known as legalism today. There is no need to pretend I made up the definition of legalism when it has been universally accepted as a definition for self righteous religious attitudes for years.

Again you are NOT defining the word Legalist nor are you using the actual agreed upon definition. All you are doing is giving examples that even non-legalists can do and then going "Look Look! Homosexuals do this too". That's not a correlation or causation, that's coincidence
