What does the Bible really teach about Homosexuality?

[HannahBroussard]

I am very clear on the Catholic Church’s teaching on Homosexuality. It is stated in the Catechism that “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of gave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered’… Under no circumstances can they be approved.” However, where in Sacred Scripture does it state that homosexuality is sinful besides Leviticus? It seems like the Church is basing it’s teaching off of the Old Testament and tradition. Is there no where in the New Testament that this issue is brought up?
