I knew you would disagree, Cheryl.

I did look up the words and I know that the “meet” connection is just in English

“burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly”

unseemly= . ungracefulness; awkwardness; disfigurement; brings discredit, disgrace;
(as well as “in moral sense, indecorum, obscene or disgraceful conduct”) from here

and the word “lust” is not restricted to sexual lust. see BLB lexicon

Frankly, I think its a good description of some forms of hard compism. They bring discredit and disfigurement to marriage as well as the scriptures and God. And the men do lust for each other in the sense of for the envy and lust for male power and position.

And I consider it a lie and a slander on God’s character to think that he is only concerned about the SEX being conventional and NOT the “natural use” for which he created women which is not about sex but about being an equal companion, a help MEET.
