The subject of homosexuality and the Bible is one in which the Biblical condemnation of homosexual relations has historically been upheld. However, beginning shortly before the sexual revolution of the 1960's, continued attempts have been made to negate the universal injunctions against homosexual relations, and to find sanction for the same.

Principal texts are Genesis 1:26,27;; 2:18-24; Leviticus 18, and Romans 1. The religious conflict between the two positions by churches or individuals is typically manifest as correlating to their beliefs about the Bible, and usually parallels their positions on other
