The Bible does state that homosexuality is wrong. It may not say it directly in those words "Homosexuality is wrong" but it does state it.
Here are a few: (English standard version)
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
But... The Bible also states
John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
1 John 4:11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another
(I have no idea why I posted this, I don't understand nor believe in the bible.)
I'm the type of gay guy to wear rainbow to a f/cking church and yell out "I'm gay" then quickly run out of the church. 😊
As mentioned above, Leviticus is about adultery. Men were known to take male lovers outside of their wives. It's about adultery not homosexuality. It's called an abomination... As is eating pork. Stop listening to the people who hate you for existing reason this. Do some research beyond a translation made to belittle you.
As for Corinthians it is taken from Greek history. Ancient Greeks actually were acquainted and accustomed with homosexuality, they did however oppose an effeminate homosexual. You can also look up the translations used prior to the English translations and translate them more closely to prostitution or pederasty. The words translated that skewed the narrative were malakoi which is to be effeminate and soft... It also relates to fancy clothing in the Bible, but outside of the bible was about prostitution. Arsenokoites - prostitution or pederasty. Again, only homophobic after English translations and with the twisting of a narrative.
Romans 1:26-27, Paul condemns people swapping out their usual partner for one of the same gender - again, I mentioned this and again it's more to do with adultery than homosexuality.
There are what, six verses that have been twisted to be homophobic as opposed to actually being homophobic.
Let's not forget it also speaks about many, many different marriage arrangements which are condoned, but it never outright condones homosexuals.
Polygamy was big in the Bible, as was marrying minors (camp Real is proof this is no longer acceptable) women were married for economic and political reasons, rarely love. Jesus only confined divorce, none of the above... Oh and celibacy. Life long celibacy was celebrated, so actually taking no lover or wife/husband was the ideal in biblical times.
The Bible might appear to condemn homosexuality when skewed to fit that narrative but it actually only condemns homosexual acts that are r*ape, imbalanced relationships such as a wealthy powerful male with a youth, or adulterers with male side pieces... Note how they are fine when it is male and female, though. Women were okay to be r*ped or used. So it also could be argued that the bible just didn't like men appearing lesser, which explains why women were silenced throughout it.
Maybe read my first post again where I explain the very same verses you quoted were already noted as being twisted.
They only take the Bible literally when it suits their narrative. If they took all of it literally, they would definitely be in trouble. There would be no female speakers or teachers, there would be no pork, there would be no wearing mixed materials... The list goes on.
Taking the Bible literally in a way that is cherry picked is merely a way of someone showing their own biases.
