LGBT
Hello,
I understand from the rabbi’s words that morality is determined by intuition. The question is whether the fact that many people in the world see something wrong in homosexual relationships is evidence that it is wrong. And the Torah, which simply calls it an abomination, agrees with this. People also feel that it is wrong without explanation when it comes to relationships with their mother, and also when it comes to relationships with animals. People have no explanation for what is wrong with it, and perhaps there is no need for an explanation, just as there is no explanation for why murder is wrong.

What you say is intuition, another will say is a social construction. And there is no end to the discussion. (In murder, it is true that one can say that the denier's intuition is also like that and he is just insisting. But in matters of incest and the like, with a little work, one can blur any intuition, like fishing and the matter of polygamy these days.)
You wouldn't expect a Jew to consider what the majority thinks as an indication of the truth.
Eran, this is just a technical question. We don't have a standard to determine or perhaps not decide a debate. But that doesn't mean that a person can't understand for themselves when it's intuition and when it's not.
