Please be specific. Please don't say, there isn't one, but "... whatever" If this issue is so vital to christians, why no commandment?

It was so obvious God did not have to mention it.

It is wrong, there is no place in the Bible that even comes close to saying this is not a sin, contrary to what some of the others are saying, who have no understanding of the Word of God. This issue is very vital to God, as any sin is vital to God. Forgiveness is there for every sin, but many people will try and justify what they want to do by twisting the Word of God to get by with it. Most people know what sin is, they just need to admit it instead of using excuses and saying , "there is no commandment for it"
We all fall short, we all sin, but there is forgiveness, if we truly seek it.

There are a few places in the Bible that clearly state that God is not down with two men being homosexy together (although God is strangely silent on hot hot lesbian action....). They are in Deuteronomy, Leviticus, and a couple of places in the New Testament - I believe in Matthew.
However, these mandates against gayness appear smack in the middle of other laws that are meant to be taken exactly as seriously: Laws about killing disobedient children by throwing rocks at them, for example, or for meting out the same fate to those who work on the Sabbath. Laws about killing a person if they mix two fibers together in their fabrics. Laws that you shouldn't cook a baby goat in the milk of its own mother. Laws about what kinds of animals you can and cannot eat.
I find it a little funny that modern Christians are so vocal about how much God hates gay people, and how unacceptable the equal rights of gays would be to them, yet they don't stage mass boycotts outside Wal-Mart because they sell polyester clothing there. Why not boycott the 4-H barn that displays the meat rabbits? You're not supposed to eat rabbits, according to Leviticus. Why not scream about how Big Mark's Shrimp Shack will be the downfall of mankind, since Leviticus also tells us not to eat shellfish? Hmmm.
The more I think about this, the more I believe maybe this is all just an excuse for these people to discriminate against a group of people they don't understand, and therefore, fear.
Imagine that!

Do you know what is meant by a loaded question?
The 10 commandments were the basis of a covenant God made with Israel. As such, no others were a party to it. So if there were such a commandment, it could only apply to an Israelite.
However, there is an interesting twist here:
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
God declares the gay lifestyle to be an abomination, and results in the land itself spewing them out.
So the ten commandments, and indeed all the law given to Israel is immaterial when it comes to the gay lifestyle.

It's not in the Ten Commandments, but it is mentioned in the Book of Leviticus:
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

There is not one but it does say further on in the BIBLE that it is wrong this is found in Deut 23v17, 1 Kings 14v24, 15v12, 22v46, 2 Kings 23v7 a proverbial term of reproach applied to those who practiced sodomy (homosexuality).

those were those the Lord informed the little ones of Israel to spoil. because they'd different gods & did terrible occult practices, even sacrificing little ones via the hearth to their devils. And so Yahweh Elohim had promised to deliver the little ones of Israel to the Land of Promise. that is the land it extremely is Israel on the instantaneous+. God does no longer like to kill. yet does for the Salvation to come back. Salvation is to come back from the individuals of the LORD. So Jesus changed into born and is our Savior. And we are to no longer have the different gods besides Him, Who extra us from our bondage to sin. The 'Thou shalt no longer kill...' is for us to flow through. yet in the time of conflict, that is diverse. And in self protection that is diverse. If our lord god instructions us to take the land, we are to obey God. at the same time as human beings sacrificed their little ones via the hearth to devils, it changed into something that not in any respect got here into Gods options that they ought to do. So, also, there is Gods judgment on those who attempt this.

okay, it says in Leviticus 18:22 that God finds homosexuality detestable. and in 1 Corinthians 6:9 it says that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. there's no commandment for premarital sex, but the bible clearly tells us to flee fornication.

For everyone who hasn't read the book of Leviticus, I know it is boring and all but Leviticus 18:22 states:
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
