Jewish Answer
No. There are 2 specific verses that are usually interpreted by Orthodox Jews as a prohibition against same-sex relations between men. (Although non-Orthodox Jews see them as a prohibition against going against your own sexual orientation, i.e. straight men cannot have gay sex, and gay men cannot have straight sex). But There is no mention of homosexuality in The Bible. Not even in the Story of Sodom and Gomorrah--Genesis 19.)
Christian Answer
Yes. Homosexuals and homosexual activity are spoken about in Genesis 19, Leviticus 20:13, and in the New Testament Romans 1:18-32

∙ 9y agoI have quoted the Bible here.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
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.
1 Kings 14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And 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. A: No, It Is Not! Over the centuries many people have misunderstood and mistranslated scriptures to suit their own personal biases against women, homosexuals, Jews, Africans or any minority group for that matter. Homosexuality is a natural part of the human condition it has always existed in creation since the beginning of time. God created all people different, some people were created male, some female, some black, some white, some heterosexual and some homosexual. We are all given different gifts and talents, and we all have a different hand to play at God's table, which we are all welcome at! For more information about Homosexuality and the Bible.

∙ 14y agoThere are several verses which mention homosexuality.
- 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
- Jude 1:7 - In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
- Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
- Deuteronomy 22:5 -A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

∙ 9y agoNowhere in the Bible does it speak about homosexuality. There are some verses used to persecute gay people, such as Leviticus 18:22, but these verses all refer to specific acts, and have various interpretations; they do not refer to any sexual orientation.
Furthermore, the Hebrew Bible never mentions sex acts between women.
In several places as the behavior called 'sexual immorality.'
God of the Bible is against 'sin' which is defined as 'lawfulness' in 1 John 3:4 - referring to the Law of God.
Sexual immorality is not new, nor is it limited to homosexuality for that matter. For the New Testament period, the Apostle Paul addresses this issue in Romans 1:26-29; 1 Corinthians 6, specifically verse 9; and 1 Timothy 9-10. From God's point of view, this type of behavior is unacceptable.
There are several other Scripture that refer to this type of behavior - the term 'homosexuality' was not developed during this period: Genesis 19:1-25; Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13; Judges 19:1-25.
Through the millennia, mankind has sought to 'disguise' this behavior in many ways such as the disproven idea someone is born 'gay.' Not so but some people are born with a propensity to be attracted to the same sex as others are born attracted to alcohol, lying, cheating, etc.
