Lesbians Biblically Approved

So I'm reading a short news item (here) in which I leaned that the Westboro Baptist "Church" plans to picket Constance McMillen's graduation because they hate lesbians because their god hates lesbians, for which they cite the following "justification" from their book of rules:

Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination.

I find that I'm bothered by its application to lesbians. Either the directive is intended only for men, in which case it doesn't apply to lesbians, or it's directed at women also, in which case they're pretty definitely instructed to avoid men and lie with women (in the traditional interpretation).

The only conclusion I can draw is that lesbians are a particular favorite, being given positive instructions and all.
