Read Romans 1:24-32:
"Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.
28 And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, 29 filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless. 32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them."
Also read 2 Timothy 3:1-5:
" But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away"

It is interesting that all the usual suspects are here - but let's cut to the chase shall we? Leviticus was written specifically for the Priests of Levi - they were a tribe of Israel who were specifically called to be priests, and they were Jews. None of the laws in Leviticus applies to Gentiles, because Gentiles, at that time, were rejected by "God." Secondly, most every verse in the NT against "homosexuality" was written by the Apostle Paul - the same Paul who took part in the murder of hundreds of Christians, including Stephen. This is the Same Paul that says that women are to sit down and shut their mouths in church, to submit to their husbands, and to keep their heads covered in church. This is the same Paul that said a bishop (greek for "Pastor") must be the husband of one wife. Yet there are thousands of women pastors and evangelists. The problem with the Biblical question is that people tend to pick and choose what they believe, and then use scripture to justify their answers. When asked what was the greatest commandment (by the disciples concerning the 10 commandments) Jesus abolished the 10 commandments and issued 2 new ones. Honor thy father and mother, and love your brother as you love yourself. Yet, while Jesus was still alive, Gentiles were still not eligible for salvation. Only after Peter received his vision of the clean and unlcean foods was salvation offered to Gentiles. To be sure, the laws of Israel do not apply to the citizens of the United States within our borders. Neither can you apply Jewish law to the Gentiles. In II Samuel you find David, the King of Israel, the "man after God's own heart" proclaiming his love to and for Jonathan. That love, "surpassed the love of a man for a woman" according to David. That in itself does not prove David and Jonathan were lovers, but it does prove that there is a greater love that can exist between men than between married couples. Ruth and Naomi had this same type of love. ("Where thou goest I will go, your people shall be my people.") Jesus and the Apostle John had this kind of love (the apostle that Jesus loveth.) Only the Apostle John died a natural death at an old age. Coincidence? I can take 2 verses from the Bible and make them say something God never intended. They are both scripture, and since most Christians consider the Word of God infallible (without falsehood or error - the prime authority) Let this be a lesson to you: "Judas went out and hanged himself." Jesus said, "therefore go ye and do likewise."

Leviticus 18:22 I believe, however it also says that the laws of Moses are for the hebrews and will be fulfilled by the crucifixion of the savior

In the Bible it states for a man to be with another man is an "abomination" unto God...this is found in
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.
Also that man should become their own gods or love themselves is found in ....
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Hope that helps you out.

You can read several instances in the book of Leviticus and in Romans chapter 1 where it says that "......men would leave the NATURAL USE AND AFFECTION OF THE WOMAN working that which is UNSEEMLY........." The word "unseemly" in this instance means "unnatural". Therefore one can only see God's displeasure over this behaviour, for God clearly stated to Adam about the creation of Eve, "....for she is given unto you for an HELPMATE" meaning SHE is to be his PARTNER in all things in life.

Scripture
Gen. 1 & 2 - we see from the beginning that the complimentarity of the sexes reflects God's inner unity and His creative power and Fatherhood. God created man and woman to become one flesh which is consummated in the act of marital love.
Gen. 2:18 – throughout the creation story, God says “it is good” seven times. But when God pointed out that man was alone, God says “it is not good.” God then created woman. Man and woman therefore belong together by God’s design, according to His natural and supernatural law.
Gen. 2:24 – God created man and woman so that they could share communion. This communion is consummated in the marital act (which must be between a man and a woman). This communion is also a reflection of the eternal communion of the Blessed Trinity, who created man in His own image and likeness.
Gen. 19:24-28 - the Lord rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah as punishment for the sin of homosexuality. Homosexuality perverts God’s covenant with humanity.
Lev. 18:22, 29 - God commands a man never to lie with a male as with a female, or he will be cut off. This refers to supernatural death which is eternal separation from God.
Lev. 20:13 - God says that if a man lies with another man, he shall be put to death. Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, unhealthy, and mortally sinful.
Deut. 22:5 - cross-dressing is also considered an abomination before God.
Matt. 19:6 - after referring to God's divine plan for man and woman, Jesus says a husband and wife become one flesh, which ultimately reflects God's union with humanity through the Church. Homosexual unions pervert this divine truth of God’s love for and union with the human race.
Rom. 1:26 - also, when a woman lies with another women, this is unnatural and a perversion. God wants His children to be pure and holy as He is holy.
Rom. 1:27 – Saint Paul calls the practice of homosexuality shameless, unnatural and a perversity. It is contrary to the natural law, as it eviscerates the life-giving aspect of human sexuality and reduces it to a selfish, pleasure-seeking end.
1 Cor. 6:9 - homosexuality is not part of God's plan for His kingdom. Homosexuals are called to chastity.
1 Tim. 1:10 - sodomites are called ungodly and sinners, unholy and profane, lawless and disobedient. They are called by God to chastity. It is important to note that homosexual attractions and inclinations, while dangerous, are not by themselves sinful per se. It is the acting out on homosexual attraction that is sinful. Those with homosexual desires can still live a life worthy of Christ by remaining chaste and pure as they abstain from acting out on their desires
