I just said that it can be argued the other way. And it can.
Out of the 6 passages used to argue against homosexuality, one actually doesn't have anything to say in the matter - 20 passages in the bible that reference that particular passage clear this up - and two are the result of bad translation and actually don't say anything on the matter. That leaves 3 passages. Two are from Leviticus, which are irrelevant after Jesus' death, and if you put the one from Romans into its proper historical and biblical context then it can easily be argued that it doesn't say anything on the matter.
At the time the bible was written, the idea of homosexuality did not exist. That is why the bible doesn't really say anything about it, or at least anything concrete. It was believed that when a guy fucked another guy there were only two reasons why that occurred:
1) They let their lust go out of control to the point where ordinary sex could not satisfy them.
2) Idol worship. (Both explain the Leviticus passages)
Clearly, none of these even come close to what people talk about when they reference homosexual sex nowadays. You can argue that the Christian base as a whole thinks homosexuality is a sin, but that's different from it actually being a sin, so it's up for debate.
EDIT: It's a pointless debate, though, since even if homosexuality is a sin it is forgiven.
