1Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you know that evil people will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who are prostitutes or who commit homosexual acts. 10 Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom. 11 SOME OF YOU USED TO DO THOSE THINGS. But your sins were washed away. You were made holy. You were made right with God. All of that was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
SOME OF YOU USED TO DO THOSE THINGS…
You don't seem to have looked very hard. It isn't hard to find. There are a few verses in Romans which mention same-sex relations too:
Romans 1:25 They chose a lie instead of God’s truth. They worshiped and served created things. They didn’t worship the Creator. But he must be praised forever. Amen.
26 So God let them go. They were filled with shameful longings. Their women committed sexual acts that were not natural. 27 In the same way, the men turned away from their natural love for women. They burned with sexual longing for each other. Men did shameful things with other men. They suffered in their bodies for all the twisted things they did.
28 They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them go. He allowed them to have dirty minds. They did things they shouldn’t do.
"In the same way" here at the beginning of verse 27 with the description of male homosexual relations would tend to define "sex acts that were not natural" of verse 26 as some form of lesbian sex.

Romans , chapter 1, verses 21-27 certainly spells it out. Jude verse 7 addresses this as well, as does 1 Corinthians 6:9. In the Old Testament; Leviticus 18:22, and 20:13.

Leviticus 18; 22 and Lev 18; 29 is the penalty and the words "cut off from the people means "put to death" Rather harsh eh?

No disrespect svetlana , but there are moral laws and Mosaic laws in the old testament. We should try our best to still obey the moral laws, which not being a homosexual is one. I know, we are saved by our Faith in Jesus Christ by the Grace of God, but should still try to obey the moral laws.....In Romans it says that Things written afore time were written for our learning. If that were not so, there would be no need of the Old Testament.

Leviticus has many, many laws regarding sexual immorality. Chapter 18:22 Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Chapter 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.

One more time.
1Timothy 1:10 (NLT - for clarity)
These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals and slave traders, for liars and oath breakers, and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching
1Corinthians 6:9 (NLT again)
9 Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers-none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.
Romans 1:24- (NLT again)
24 So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. 25 Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. 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 relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.
28 When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds 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, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. 32 They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Im not a Christian but I assume its the Adam and Eve thing. Women are destined for men and vice versa. Its part of nature too.

Romans chapters 1 and 2, I believe. Paul's pretty direct about men with men and women with women.

Be sure they only use NT scripture, as all the rules before that went away with Christ's new rules.
