does the bible actually say anything about homosexuality/gender anyway?

Leviticus 20:13: “If a man has intercourse with a man as with a woman, both commit an abomination. They must be put to death.”

That is one quote that I could find. There are probably more.

Edit: But wait, there's more...

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination

Romans 1:26-27, Corinthians 6:9-10, Timothy 1:9-10, etc, etc.

That bible is a really hateful book, for sure. It's mind boggling how anyone could be gay and christian. Mental gymnastics to 11, I suppose.

Universal christianity rules apply: Always pick and choose your scriptures.

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination

This is about having sex as an offering to god, in the temple. Substituting a man in place of a woman is the abomination. Not just having sex in general with a man. Also, Leviticus applies to the Levites and the Levitican clergy.

There is literally NOTHING in the bible that says homosexuality is wrong. But it does fully endorse incest and genocide.

Translation #2. This is not what someone else just explained. I am curious about how many interpretations this has.

Everybody perceives art a different way.

Great. Now convince Christians of that. Good luck.
