Try www.biblegateway.com
You can click on any version of the Bible you may wish to use from a list there, and then type in a subject. In the case of "gays" you may want to use the term sodomy or homosexuality. I didn't find those terms in Leviticus, but rather in Deuteronomy and others. The Bible is explicit in that the city of Sodom was destroyed by God because of the practices going on there (e.g. a man laying with another man).
By the way, God hates the sin - not the sinner.

in Leviticus 18:22
" Do not lie with a man as one lies with a women; that is detestable."
It dont clearly state anything. It clearly states one is not to have sexual relations with an animal. So if thats what was meant it would have said dont have sexual relations with a person of the same sex, which it dont.
Plus it dont say nothing about you cant be gay its more of a line of sexual relations with a person of the same sex is a sin. Sins can be forgiven. ( I dont personally believe that is meant that christians can't be gay i think thats just a reason most christians use as their excuse cause they dont like gay people.)

Pretty sure most of the sex stuff is in Chap 15. You know some forms of Gay sex cause disease that still can not always be cured today like prostatitis of the chronic variety and oral cause that jaw problem that causes one to lose the ability to smile so might it not be that God was steering us away from same as perhaps He did with some diet restrictions and circumscission..

I don't know exactly where this is in the Bible, but it does say not to lay with another man.

"babygurl" you apparently skipped over the chapter where it lists the punishments for the crimes
Leviticus 20 13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
First it lists the "sins" then the punishments. I think that one's pretty clear. Not that I believe in any of this crap, though. The punishment for just about anything is death in the bible:
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death.
A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death.
See? There's that famous religious tolerance for ya.

Homosexuality -
To lie with mankind, as with womankind is an abomination (Lev.18:22, Lev.20:13 below). The effeminate and the abusers of themselves with mankind shall not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor.6:9-10 below).
As a member of the body of Christ (Col.1:24), such as these are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God (1 Cor.6:11 below).
Lev.18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Lev.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.
1 Cor.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Cor.6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Cor.6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Christians are not gay. They obey God, and no gay person will enter the gates of Heaven, is that a good enough answer.
