What does "as it's understood today" mean
Juls I think what they are refering to in the Bible if you literally translate the texts about homosexuality it's most likely referring to male prostitutes and sex with young boys. I know you have read What the Bible Says-And Doesn't Say-About Homosexuality so I won't repeat that. If you would like a more historical view of homosexuality you can go to http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/homosexuality/. There you will find that the word homosexual didn't even exist during the time the Bible was written or even when the King James Version was translated.
