Romans 1:26-17 are pretty clear.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Homosexual acts are:
shameful,
unnatural,
products of lust,
indecent,
a fruit of perversion and
receive judgement.
But why do these things happen? What is the root of this kind of behaviour? God explains why these thing happen in verse 25:
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie. Now Paul is probably referring to idol worship and false religion- imagine Buddhas and things like that. But doesn't our western culture (at it's worst) worship the created thing - human body, human pleasure, human wisdom - rather than the creator.
The 100 revs have (or are in extreme danger of doing so) exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
The Bible clearly states that homosexual activity is a sin. The 100 revs wish to redefine it as acceptable in the church. I fear for the consequence that may be the judgement on that particular example of exchanging the truth of God for a lie.
