If a question was asked if such a verse existed, why is it wrong to cite it?
Romans 1:26-27.
1:26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones, 1:27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

From what I see, yes the passages are talking about homosexual sex. Is it wrong to site it? No
A word of caution though.Here in the US presently we go by a 'majority rules' mentality. God rules by a 'purity' (all) mentality.
All has 6 fundamental criteria (who,what, when, where, why, how). Man generally (in this country) presently can only see 5 of the 6. (Who,what, when, where, how) Please see, 1 Samuel 16:7.(i.e. the heart is why).

yes... try new living translation (NLT)
Passage Romans 1:26:
26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
Nothing wrong to quoting it. Problem is that things are sometimetimes used out of context...
18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.[i] 19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Yes, it does. That is the simplest interpretation of the passage. Unless there is compelling evidence, the simplest interpretation should always be the one chosen.

Sure. I guess so.
Who knows, could just be that the men are being gay and the women like BDSM

Of course it does. Who said you were wrong for citing it? You aren't wrong.

Because it's not condoning the acts, it is explaining how dishonorable they were being. (sinful).
