Um, mypublicident, I obviously thought I would get better feedback, as well as personal opinions,from yahoo than searching google...how am I a troll for asking a simple question?

I'm not Christian (and I don't agree with this), but here are some verses that you asked for...
Leviticus 18:22
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Leviticus 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.
EDIT: ¨Ärçtïc Þrïnçess¨ do not take what a_talis_man has as truth, I don't know what version he is using but he is sooooo wrong. As for Deuteronomy 20:13, the NIV says "When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it." AND 1 Corinthians 1:31says "Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." There isn't even a verse 32 as you state. Neither have anything to do with homosexuality at all. AND neither does 1 Timothy 6:9-10 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
Except for the first, all the other references that you gave are completely different in the NIV.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. -- Leviticus 18:22
Genesis
"And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him."
What did Ham do? Did he just look at his naked father or was there something more to it than that? Some commentators have suggested that Ham committed homosexual rape on his drunken father, and that this was why Ham's descendants were eternally punished with slavery. 9:24
If a man has sex with another man, kill them both. 20:13
Deuteronomy
Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death." 1:31-32
1 Corinthians
Paul lists ten things that will keep you out of heaven, including homosexuality and being "effeminate." 6:9-10
1 Timothy
Homosexuals (those "that defile themselves with mankind") are included on the list of lawless, disobedient, unholy, and profane people. 1:10
2 Timothy
Iin the last days people will become evil, "without natural affection." Fundamentalist say that this refers to homosexuals. 3:3
Jude
God sent "eternal fire" on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah for "going after strange flesh." 7-8
Revelation

Sexual relations between two men was known and practiced by many cultures. In ancient times it occurred particularly in the city of Sodom (hence the word sodomy.) Later on it was practiced by barbarians and the Greeks.
Homosexuality is not a new concept. Sodom was destroyed and laid waste because of the many sins and perversions that occurred there. (Read about Sodom in your Bible.) In fact, the definition of sodomy (named after Sodom) is
"Carnal sexual intercourse in any of several unnatural ways, usually that of one male with another."
One of the better verses I was able to locate was in 2 Romans.
2 Romans vs. 1:24-----(in reference to the city of Sodom)-----There God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves............
It continues in vs. 26-----Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural 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 their own persons the due penalty for their error."
The last sentence is interesting. "men ....receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error." What penalty? Sickness perhaps, such as AIDS? Perhaps that was one reasons that homosexuality was so despised, even then, to the Jewish people, who were meticulous in their cleanliness. The Christian bible incorporates many Jewish laws, in fact is based upon those very laws, and so has been retained. The New Testament does not touch upon it because it was understood that it was tabu, especially by the Jewish people. And Jesus, by the way, was Jewish. It was only after His death that the Christian church was founded.

It doesn't.
There are places in the bible that condemn homosexual acts, but at the time the bible was compiled, there was no idea that people could be born gay. They assumed that all people were born heterosexual, and if they did gay things, they were worshiping idols or just being kinky.
So the bible is really talking about homosexual acts performed by heterosexual people.
This seems to be a little too complicated for fundamentalists to understand, so they just say that the bible condemns gay people. They mainly say this because gay bashing keeps the money rolling into their churches: Send me tithes or the evil homos will take your children!
They condemn gay people, but the bible does not.
Here are some:
Genesis 19:1-25
Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13
Romans 1:26
1 Corinthians 6:9
l Timothy 1:10

It is only a sin if it is between to consenting adults. It is perfectly okay if one person is a priest and the other is an alterboy.

Look at Genesis 19 for starters.
