If so, as a Chrisitan what is your opinion about Homosexualism?

Not explicitly. It just says that one man can't get into the "missionary position" with another man, if you're reading it correctly as a whole.

Yes the bible does say that homosexuality is wrong, however there's a reason that there's an old testament and a new testament. Man kind evolved from the times of the old testament to the times of the new testament, thus some views changed. And we continue to evolve thus our view points and beliefs must evolve with the times. As a Christian who attends church on a regular basis, I don't find anything wrong with two men or two women together, and I don't think that they should be judged. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Attraction is natural, it's not something that can be controled.

Yes, the Bible forbids homosexuality. Don't think homosexualism is a real word. That said I believe homosexuality is just a form of adultery. Adultery being Biblically defined as, as any sexual act outside of the boundary of sex between a married man and woman.

Yes. It says in the very first book Genesis that God created a man to lie with a woman in the sanctity of marriage when God created Adam and Eve. It speaks that homosexuality is a sin against the Heavenly Father and that people need to turn away from this sin. My opinion is Homosexuality is wrong. It is wrong in God's eyes and what is wrong in God's eyes should be banished throughout all of creation.

What does the Bible say about Homosexuality?
Leviticus 18 22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20 13If 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.
Romans 1: 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And 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 recompense of their error which was meet.
Romans 1: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Fornications – any sex between two people who are not married.
1 Corinthians 5:10
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1 Corinthians 6:9
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,
Mark 7:21
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Galatians 5:19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Jude 1:7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

In the Bible it mentions that homosexuality is forbidden, but it is just as wrong for people to hate them. We are to follow the "love your neighbor as yourself", and love the homosexuals. Christians are just not supposed to agree with someone being a homosexual. Love the person but hate the sin.
I will be honest. I treat homosexuals the same as I would a heterosexual. Treat me with respect, and I'll respect back.

Yes it does, God never intended for people of the same sex to come together as a couple or as lovers. As a Christian I think that it is of the devil, the Bible speaks of people losing their natural affections.
A natural affection is the affection between a man and a woman. Man is the only one of God's creations to indulged in this spiritual sickness. You never see two males dogs or cats or any other kind of animal trying to mate with each other.

It does speak against homosexuality, but what many people don't think about is the fact that GOD DIDN"T WRITE THE BIBLE. Men wrote the Bible, and they could put any spin on it to further their agendas.

Homosexual acts are sinful acts. I believe them to be sin. I also believe they are not unforgivable sins. You can be a homosexual, even a practicing one, and be a Christian. We all have sin that is difficult for us to conquer. The only sin that will not be forgiven is blaspheming the Holy Spirit!

If read certain ways, yes.
Making it a sick, immoral book of distorted and ignorant prejudices.
But then it also says children who disobey their parents should be put to death - I do not notice queues of Christians lining up to execute their offspring.
Oh, and it says it in the same book of the bible too.
