Romans 1:27, "In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
So I guess the answer is, yes.

The Bible does not say it is wrong to be gay. That word was not in their vocabulary with the meaning it has today. What the Bible does say is that is an abomination for a man to lay with a man as he would with a woman.

Have a read of the following verses:
1 Corinthians 6:9-10...9
1 Timothy 1:8-10
leviticus 18:22
Romans 1:27
I have attached an online bible web site all you have to do is paste the bible reading into the search once you have opened the site:

The Bible doesn't say being gay is wrong,it says to act on that desire is and abomination. Just as it would be wrong to steal or lie or commit adultery. The Bible doesn't guarantee any one to have a mate or children.
Just as unmarried people are supposed to be celibate so are people who believe they are gay. Many widows and widowers choose not to marry again even though it is allowed. The entire point being sex is not for recreation.

It's very hard to say. There are verses in the Bible which sound as if it's condemning homosexuality, but then there are also verses that say it's better to stay unmarried or that women should cover their heads when attending religious gatherings. You have to read it in context and realize that it was written for people who lived 2000 years ago!
What the Bible IS very clear on is that God is loving and forgiving, that he wants to guide and help you to live a fulfilled life. I think we can also assume that it expects us to have sexual self-control, whether you're homosexual or not.
It's between you and God, and nobody else may condemn you. Follow his guidance.

God gave free will to Man, so whether he wants to blow people up, sleep with a man, rob people blind, murder them even....you can't preach at people, there is no answer. They are in charge of their own perverted lives, be it good or bad. At the end of the day we all have to account for life's crap, we're all living it and each year it gets worse. So, you can quote as much as you like, we have moved on donkey years from that and nothings changed, still all angry. It's what is in in your heart what matters, nothing more and nothing less xx

YES.
(1 CORINTHIANS 6:9) “What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men,”
(1 TIMOTHY 1:8-10) “Now we know that the Law is fine provided one handles it lawfully 9 in the knowledge of this fact, that law is promulgated, not for a righteous man, but for persons lawless and unruly, ungodly and sinners, lacking loving-kindness, and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers, 10 fornicators, men who lie with males, kidnappers, liars, false swearers, and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching”

Yes, it does. In more than one place. Here's one for you, though...1 Corinthians 6:9-10...9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Being gay is a choice. Why not choose Jesus instead?

yes, in leviticus 18:22 it says: " Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abonmination." This is the King James Version.
