There is no evidence at all in the text or in history for that matter, for many of the assumptions made about Romans and Leviticus.
And just out of curiosity: how can one use the absence of any mention of lesbianism in Leviticus as positive evidence that lesbianism is not prohibited. And then turn around and go destroy the positive prohibition against male-male sex to "free" the men as well?
"It doesn't condemn lesbians! Look see? They were left out."
And then after the women are "free to go".
"Oh it only appears to condemn the men."
It can't be both ways.
