See Gen 1:27 along with Gen 2:21-24 then see Gen 19. Look up Lev 18:22 and Lev 20:13 and then in the New Testament.....yes there are things in the NT too... Romans 1:27, 1 Cor 6:9 and 1 Tim 1:9-10
Sorry, but according to sacred scripture and traditional Christian teaching...it is wrong.
Homosexual persons should still be shown respect due the human person, but we cannot confirm anyone in their sin. Love the sinner but hate the sin.

There are so many interpetrations of what the Bible says regarding homosexuality, so it's basically gonna be based on what you read and how you think the scriptures portray the Christian views about it. A good website that you might visit is http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibl.htm. It provides both major interpretations and discusses the different relevant scriptures in detail.
Personally, I don't think homosexuality should be condemned (and certainly not more than any other sin, because aren't all sins equal in God's eyes, except for blashempy). However, I don't have an extensive enough knowledge of the relevant scriptures to give you a for-sure answer.

homosexuality is condemned in the bible. It is an abomination in the sight of God.
But please do not take my word or other people's word for it. Read some of the scriptures given to you and make up your own mind.
There comes a point in each life where we must decide: Am I going to follow what the Bible teaches or go along with what other people (friends, parents, etc.) believe?
The person that is wise will ask God for help and understanding and strength to follow Him.
god bless

Yes, homosexuality is a sin. The bible is clear on this point.
Morality is defined by an ultimate moral authority, God. If you are a non-believer, then you have no objective moral truths.
Since God, speaking through the inspired prophets authoring the books of the bible, declared homosexuality a sin, then it is a sin.
Thus, homosexuality is just one of a litany of the degradation of the perfect moral state found in original creation. Homosexuality is just one of a plethora of sins now existing in the world. Like all sins, we hate the sin, but we love the sinner.
On the scale of the depravity of sin, homosexuality is no greater than other sins, just that it is practiced openly ("in your face"), so the reaction by some is over the top. Yet when we do some personal inventories of our own sinful natures, I am sure we are found wanting.

Happiness to Christians is more than the needs of the flesh. Continue to pray for strength to resist your urges and strive to be obedient to the scriptures.

Don't forget the Bible was written 2000 years ago, by and for people who had the knowledge of 2000 years ago. Take from the Bible what is important: the love and respect we must give for everyone of us and for God Himself.

It says that a man should not lay with another man. It also says not to eat shrimp. I personally think love is good, no matter what form it takes.
