If so, what does it say?
Remember: specifically!

Personally, I really don't care. I'm not a procreation machine for some megalomaniacal diety, thankyouverymuch, and I'll share my body with whomever I choose.

God's Word is the same for everyone. Homosexual sin does not disqualify one from salvation any more than disobeying parents or gossiping.
Even criticized Paul understands that homosexuality is one sin among a multitude of sins. Jesus is a friend of sinners. He wears that label like a badge of honor. He asks us " Come, leave your life of sin and follow me"
No, the word lesbian is not in the Bible as far as I know. God loves all of us the way we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us that way. So whatever is the sin, He died for it. He wants to make us new.

The only real "clobber passage" that pertains to lesbians is in Romans 1:26: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:"
Then again, a lot of gay and supportive Christians read the Book of Ruth as a lesbian love story.

Romans 1
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is blessed forever. • Amen.
26 This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual intercourse for what is unnatural.
27 The males in the same way also left natural sexual intercourse with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty for their perversion.

it talks about homosexuality in general
Genesis 19
1 That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom. Lot was sitting there, and when he saw them, he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed with his face to the ground. 2 “My lords,” he said, “come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night. You may then get up early in the morning and be on your way again.”
“Oh no,” they replied. “We’ll just spend the night out here in the city square.”
3 But Lot insisted, so at last they went home with him. Lot prepared a feast for them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast, and they ate. 4 But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. 5 They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!”
6 So Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. 7 “Please, my brothers,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do with them as you wish. But please, leave these men alone, for they are my guests and are under my protection.”
9 “Stand back!” they shouted. “This fellow came to town as an outsider, and now he’s acting like our judge! We’ll treat you far worse than those other men!” And they lunged toward Lot to break down the door.
10 But the two angels[a] reached out, pulled Lot into the house, and bolted the door. 11 Then they blinded all the men, young and old, who were at the door of the house, so they gave up trying to get inside.
Leviticus 18:22
22 “Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.
homosexuality is known as Sodomy
1 corrinthians 6:9,10
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Epistle to the Romans, Chapter 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I was thinking of asking this question a few days ago.
I think homosexuality is used in the bible in the context of both sexes.
It is important to note that the use of the word 'sodomy' is not correct in the bible. With a man it is buggery, with a woman it is sodomy. If you were to interpret this literally it means that a man cannot lie 'behind' a woman but it is okay to do it with another man.

Romans 1:26 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones."

It says women leaving the natural use of their bodies and laying with other women. Is what it says and it does condemn this like beastialty, and man on man sex.
