Because this sin is the one being forced down our throats, taught to children in schools and if you merely respectfully disagree you're labeled a homophobe and hateful.
Homosexials have created a lot of enemies, not by being homosexual but by their aggressive agenda.

Leviticus 18:22 refers to homosexuality as an abomination. What exactly is an abomination? According to Merriam-Webster.com it means this...
something regarded with disgust or hatred
Perhaps Jesus didn't need to elaborate further when God made his opinion on the matter quite clear.
I think homosexuals just want equal rights in a supposedly free and democratic society.

Jesus (God the Son, the Word) wrote Leviticus. So yes He did speak about homosexuality. He forbids it!

That is a naive and misinformed idea of what homosexuals want. They are free to do whatever they wish in their own homes, but promoting their perversions and seeking to make them legitimate is utter nonsense.

Jesus addressed many issues and many sins and, yet, he never said a thing about this topic.
Jesus is God incarnate. The Bible is the word of God. Therefore the Bible is the word of Jesus. Think before you post idiocy!!

Now I understand. You are right ... always and in all ways. Anyone who has a different view is wrong ... always and in all ways. I get it. I find it sad, but I do get it. I am not here to argue about this. I dont believe homosexuals are perverts who choose this. I believe they are attracted to the same sex (dont want to be but are). I am attracted to the opposite sex ... so I guess I am lucky. But I dont get on the back of their misfortune and call them perverts, or damn them to Hell. I think I will let God be the judge of all of these things and I suspect, sexuality (consensual between two adults/no harm to each other) will not be the biggest thing on his list.
Perhaps on his list will be things like murder, rape, cheating, lying, stealing, hurting others, etc., etc. Have a good day all.
Homosexuals are perverts...

"In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion." Romans 1:27

How is calling someone a homophobe for saying "I disagree with you" equal rights?
How is indoctrinating children and teaching them in schools to find their own gender identity and sexual identity equal rights? Even if its against the parents wishes, or behind their backs?
Equal rights is a cover for them pushing their agenda. God has deemed it an abomination regardless.

I've worked with a number of homisexuals. Some were enjoyable nice people, others were jerks. Just like everyone else. But that doesn't mean I have to passively or actively support their wishes. Part of a democracy is for Both Sides to have a voice. If they have a right to push their agenda then I have a right to resist it.
Funny how the "rights" and "democracy" card gets played for only one side and the other side is called hateful and ignorant for exercising those same rights. Modern liberal hypocrisy strikes again.

Thank you for replying but it doesn't answer the question which is why didn't Jesus say one word about it? Homosexuality (orientation) was not undestood in Biblical times. It is not clear throughout the whole Bible; there are only six verses and some of those are questionable/have been questioned.

I am straight. I never chose. I believe it is not a choice. Not one I ever made and not one that anyone can make, or would want to make. That means it is not their fault. So many sins out there where people are harming others and we choose this particular thing to be obsessed with. Why???
The question of fault or choice is a red herring. The reality is that we live in a world marred and distorted by sin, in its every molecule. The fallen state of creation manifests in millions of different ways including genetic mutations, congenital defects, hereditary diseases, mental/emotional disorders, physical anomalies, allergies, and many, many others. However, God is good. He didn't intentionally create anyone with blind eyes, borderline personality disorder, or Down's Syndrome. These things are a result of the fall, as is romantic/sexual preference for anything other than the opposite gender.

The Bible makes it adequately clear that homosexual activity is sinful, and that homosexual lust is also sinful. A person who struggles with homosexual attraction is no less able to receive God's help to resist than the person who struggles with any other "chronic" temptation. However, trying to justify the attraction or activity is tantamount to rejecting God's truth and grace.

In other words you think the deviant behavior is OK!!
I understand homosexuality does not fit in the Christian world view.
This country is composed of Christians of all sorts as well as non - Christians. Who gets the right to make the decisions for someone else?
The idea that they want certain equal rights is not really any of our business.
It’s not like they will simply go away because you call them names.

Harry Hay, jr. is the grandfather of the gay rights movement who said he modeled it after the Communist Revolution. Gays are aggressive Marxist fascists who hate freedom, our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and they hate God. Just look at the aggressive mob and protesting gays in the story of Sodom (where we get the word "sodomy"). They are the same today. BTW, serial killers are gays.

But there is no such thing as "gay rights".

There is no such thing as gay rights, beastiality rights, pedophile rights, whore rights, or necrophilia rights.
It is your right to have that view.
There are many millions of people who have a different view.
Those peoples vote & pay taxes same as you.

Some serial killers have also identified as homosexual. However, making that association as a matter of fact requires statistical support, and really doesn't add anything to this conversation.

See, you gay fascists hate our American system based on the Declaration of Independence which states our rights come from God who never granted "gay rights". You are an anti God anti American fascist.

So morality is a matter of democracy? The people may vote all sorts of heinous things, but that doesn't make them morally acceptable. It only makes them culturally acceptable.

This is a great example of why the US founding fathers did not want a democracy... because although they were not "Christians" as we today would understand the term, they at least had a clear sense of right and wrong.

The root of this issue is, who makes the rules. If God makes the rules, some things are inherently wrong. If people make the rules, there is no standard. Interestingly, those who argue for "freedom of expression" also are the first to oppress others with their own "morality".

Another unnecessary post. Arguing a position doesn't make a person a participant of that position. There is wisdom in exploring both sides of a position, if only to bolster your own. If you understand your enemy, you can fight that enemy more effectively. You don't have to be one to consider one's position.
