Answer
Hello James,

God condemns homosexuality in His Word. A man and woman need to be married before God before they engage in sexual activity. The Bible is silent on the issue of family planning.

Here are some scriptures for you.

Bring them out unto us, that we may know them, Gen. 19: 1-11 (Moses 5: 51-53). Thou shalt not lie with mankind; it is an abomination, Lev. 18: 22 (Lev. 20: 13). There shall be no sodomite of the sons of Israel, Deut. 23: 17. They declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not, Isa. 3: 9 (2 Ne. 13: 9). Men burned in their lust one toward another, Rom. 1: 27. Abusers of themselves with mankind will not inherit the kingdom of God, 1 Cor. 6: 9-10. The law is not made for a righteous man, but for them that defile themselves with mankind, 1 Tim. 1: 9-10. Those who go after strange flesh are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, Jude 1: 7.

Joseph would not do this great wickedness, and sin against God, Gen. 39: 7-12. Thou shalt not commit adultery, Ex. 20: 14. Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery in his heart, Matt. 5: 28. Neither fornicators nor adulterers shall inherit the kingdom of God, 1 Cor. 6: 9-10. God will judge whoremongers and adulterers, Heb. 13: 4.
