When I was a Christian, I always believed that the Bible classifies homosexual acts as immoral. As an agnostic, I still believe this to be the case. I believe the strongest and clearest case against homosexuality can be found in Romans 1:26-27. Romans 1:26-27 (NIV)
Some debates I've seen involve people just asserting their position in different ways rather than engaging with the other sides arguments, like explaining how or why the other side is wrong. So let's debate that here.
Does Romans 1:26-27 condemn homosexuality?
*Keep in mind that the debate question does not speak to whether or not the Bible is correct on homosexuality.
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.
