Care to back up that statement with verses that aren't pulled out of context?
Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
1st 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,(10) 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;
1 Corinthians 7:2 - But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.(Does not say each man should have his own man, or each woman her own woman.)
Genesis 2:23-24 - And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Jude 1:7 - Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Romans 1:27 - 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 themselves the due penalty for their error.
Because the Bible does not say homosexuality is wrong in every verse, that doesn't make it right. You never read in the Bible of homosexual marriages, or examples of homosexual relationships. The Bible never supports it, which to me means that it is wrong.
Like I said though, we are not to judge others, God gets the final say.
James 4:12 -There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
