Romans 1:26-27: "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: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
1Corithians 6:9-10: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Timothy 1:9-10: "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine."

There are several references to behavior that is out of the norm
Romans 1:26
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
But they are never in a vaccuum of just one sin. I think that is where people get lost. It's easier to label a behavior than to love the person we've labeled.
Jesus is mostly silent on the issue, perhaps because he didn't think it needed to be addressed, His first miracle blessed the traditional union between a man and a woman in marriage, and he affirmed that he did not come to change the law but to fulfill it, thus setting the OT as text not to be dismissed.
Unfortunately, the verses in the OT that you might look to as support that this is a sin are pretty harsh and often mis used.
As with all sin, it is not the person but the sin that is bad, the person is still a child of God, and as we like to say, has God's fingerprints on them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

It says that those that commit the act will not inherit the Kindom of God.
Good enough for you?
English Standard Version:
1Co 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
1Ti 1:10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

It doesn't.
There are some verses that state that homosexual acts IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS are sinful, but nowhere does it state that homosexuality, or homosexual people *per se* are sinful.

Leviticus makes reference to male - male "sodomy" as being an abomination. However, so is eating shellfish or cutting your sideburns. There are 613 commandments in that chapter. So, it's up to you how to interpret that.

I just checked. When you typed in your question it brings up similar questions, actually this question is in here verbatim in many cases. So you can go to "ask" type in your question again and instead of posting you can click on the number there, it's like 15 pages and view them all...
