PS The passage in question from Romans 1
: 
18 The  wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against  all the 
godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their  wickedness, 
19 since  what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made 
it plain to  them. 20 For  since the creation of the world God’s invisible 
qualities—his eternal power and  divine nature—have been clearly seen, 
being understood from what has been  made, so that people are without excuse. 
21 For  although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave 
thanks to  him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts 
were  darkened. 22 Although  they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and 
 exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a 
mortal human being  and birds and animals and reptiles. 
24 Therefore  God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts  to 
sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They  
exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created  
things rather than the Creator—who is forever  praised. Amen. 
26 Because  of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women 
exchanged natural  sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In  the same way 
the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were  inflamed with 
lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men,  and 
received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 
28 Furthermore,  just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the 
knowledge of God, so God  gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do  
what ought not to be done. 29 They  have become filled with every kind of 
wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.  They are full of envy, murder, strife, 
deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers,  God-haters, insolent, 
arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil;  they disobey their 
parents; 31 they  have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 
Although  they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things 
deserve  death, they not only continue to do these very  things but also approve 
of those who practice them.

Here’s  another take.  In Romans, Paul condemns those men who engage in 
same sex  relationships as doing so against their nature.  But what if their 
nature  is to be attracted to other men?  Isn’t it more important to God that  
people live according to the way they’re made than abiding by strict taboos 
 imposed by people who do not understand their  attraction?
