Out of curiosity, for those of you who are better educated than me (I've never read the Good Book in full), what justification does the Bible give for saying that homosexuality is wrong? Or is it just one of those Because-I'm-God-and-I-said-so kind of things?

I was told that the reason that homosexuality was wrong was the same reason masturbation was wrong -- it was a sin to "spill your seed" in a place where it couldn't result in children. They wanted families to have as many children as possible (ditto why birth control and, to a point, abortion are not okay within certain branches of Christianity) so that there would be as many Christians as possible to go forth and spread the Word. But is there any truth to this or not? Because if so, it seems like homosexuals would be in the same level of hell as guys who masturbate (something like 98 percent of them) and women who refuse to spend their entire childbearing years pregnant with one child or another (also something like 98 percent of them, lol).
