there are many scriptures in the bible (old and new testament) warning against homosexual acts
here are some:
There is virtual agreement among all who participate today in the homosexuality debate that Old and New Testament contain some unequivocal condemnations of homosexual practice. These sentences are:
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman: it is an abomination" (Lev 18:22).
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be put to death: their blood is upon them" (Lev 20:13).
"God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error" (Rom 1:26-27).
"Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers - none of these will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor 6:9-10).
The condemnation of the law applies for those "who kill their father or mother, for murderers, fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers" ( 1 Tim 1:9-10).
It is debated which precise social behavior is meant by "male-prostitutes" and "sodomites" in the last two quotes but it is not controversial that they include homogenital activity.

Romans 1:18-32, it also found in the in the Old Testament and it is Lev. 18:22 and Genesis 19 (God destroys two cities because of homosexuality).
Jesus himself never said anything about it because the Jews knew what God said about the issue and so they never asked Him about it.
We as Christians believe the whole Bible, it is wrong. God can forgive and make whole the homosexual. They need to see that they are sinner just like the rest of us and that they need Jesus.
Look in Genesis chapter 2 verses 15-25. God said it wasn't good for man to be alone; He created a woman.

There are several places in the bible, but the clearest one in my opinion is found in the New Testament, book of Romans Chapter 1 verses 24 thru 32. It defines homosexuality as unnatural and clearly defines it as sin. King James version of the bible is the best.

Leviticus 18:22 refers to sex between two men as a hateful sin. Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and 1 Timothy 1:10 also address homosexuality as a sin. There are aslo many passages that describe sexual relations specifically as that between a man and a woman.

Romans1:24-27 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
uncleanness Matt 23:27, Rom 6:19, 2nd Cor 6:17, 2nd Cor 12:21, Gal 5:19, Eph 4:19, Eph 5:3, Eph 5:5, Col 3:5, 1st Thess 4:7
bodies 1st Cor 6:18, 1st Thess 4:4
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE GOD APPROVES OF HOMOSEXUALITY TO YOU??????

1Corinthians 6:9 men kept for unnatural purposes nor men who lie with me. Lots of scriptures from the old to the new.
That is why he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Read Genesis.
They were practicing all kinds of bad acts, burning babies alive and numerous other things. But that was just to much and he destroyed them, God has a real loathing for that sort of thing.
Probably ten scriptures in the new testament says people who do that cannot enter into the kingdom of god.
