First, were homosexuality at all legitimate, the Bible would include options other than natural heterosexuality; yet homosexuality is only ever condemned.

So, second, homosexuality, like every other sin, is a conscious rebellion against divinely created order. Scriptures (like Romans 1:26-32) clearly call homosexual behaviour sinful. To deliberately choose to practise a sin is intentional rebellion.

Third, deliberately sterile homosexuality violates God's intention for human creation itself. The Bible says, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. So God blessed them and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.' " (Genesis 1:27-28)

Fourth, homosexuality distorts the image of God. The image of God comprises both male and female, a complementarity eternal and everlasting.
I believe that is the gist of it.
