"The Bible says nothing about homosexuality."

Oh. really?

What about:

Leviticus 20:13

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." NIV

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." ESV

" a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." KJV

English (KJV), Strong's #, Root Form (Hebrew), Tense

If a man h376 איש 'iysh

also lie h7901 שכב shakab

with mankind, h2145 זכר zakar

as he lieth h4904 משכב mishkab

with a woman, h802 אשה 'ishshah

both h8147 שנים shĕnayim

of them have committed h6213 עשה `asah

an abomination: h8441 תועבה tow`ebah [

they shall surely h4191 מות muwth

be put to death; h4191 מות muwth

their blood h1818 דם dam

[shall be] upon them.

The Septuagint,["Septuagint (sometimes abbreviated LXX) is the name given to the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures. The Septuagint has its origin in Alexandria, Egypt and was translated between 300-200 BC."] reads like this:

20:13 καὶ ὃς ἂν κοιμηθῇ μετὰ ἄρσενος κοίτην γυναικός βδέλυγμα ἐποίησαν ἀμφότεροι θανατούσθωσαν ἔνοχοί εἰσιν

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both men shall be adored by everyone. They will be displayed on the silver screen and make millions and millions of dollars; their blood will be mixed with other blood and banked."
NGV

“...They must be put to death...”

See that right there is pretty good evidence that much of the bible was written by people with as many flaws as you or I. Or do you believe that homosexuals should be executed?
