The following passage from the bible is one of the very few to address homosexuality. And it's no big deal. My guess is that the prigs in the so-called Holy Land heard about all the fun the Greeks were having with their same-sex coupling and orgies and like American evangelicals were so bitter and jealous they said god didn't approve. (Like he was going to say anything.) More references against homosexuality in the bible are as skimpy as a Speedo and hardly worth closing a pizzeria over. After all those judgemental pains in the ass back then had all kinds of rules of behavior. Marriage (wed as many wives as you can handle); food (don't eat shrimp it's too delicious); adultery(anyone who enjoys sex should be stoned); go to church every Sunday (sleeping late is so sinfully wonderful!) And I'll never understand why, if God was such a brilliant designer, man decided he screwed up when he put too much flesh on the penis. All this stupid biblical passage really tells us is what we already knew: Homosexuality has always been around, and so have prissy moralists unable to mind their own business.
"For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. 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" (Rom. 1:26–27).
