(King James)
Romans 1:22-32
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own
hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their woman
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.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whispers,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents,

Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:

Who knowing the judgement 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.

	If you are gay you are worthy of death. Also remember that the
wages of sin is death. Only through Jesus Christ can you be saved and
cleansed from your sins.

John 14:15
(Jesus speaking)
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Romans 12:9
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that
which is good.

Third John 11
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that
doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hat not seen God.

Leviticus 18:22-30
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.

Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither
shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations
are defiled which I cast out before you:

An the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it,
and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgements, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any
stranger that so-journeth among you:

(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were
before you, and the land is defiled;)

That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed out the
nations that were before you.

For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that
commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these
abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not
yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God.
