The verses calling homosexuality an "abomination" are also Mosaic law.
Except that homosexuality is condemned in the New Testament. Keep trying old fool
Quote?
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
According to that passage, homosexuality is equated to drunkenness and adultery.
Let me know when Christians get as upset about those things as they do about the gays.
Galatians 5:19
No mention of homosexuality there, either.
Colossians 3:5-7
No mention of homosexuality.
1 Timothy 1:10
That verse refers to temporal laws, and could be interpreted as a call for making homosexuality illegal - but I see no condemnation by God.
Titus 1:16
No mention of homosexuality.
Jude 1:4, 7, and 19
No mention of homosexuality.
Revelation 21:27

There is a difference between getting upset and what the bible actually says. BTW how do you know they don't get upset?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
As seen in Romans 1 18-32 homosexuality is considered sexual immorality so yes it does mention it just not specifically.
Galatians 5:19New International Version (NIV)
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
Again see Romans 1 18:32 it is included in sexual immorality.
Colossians 3:5-7New International Version (NIV)
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality,impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[a] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
Not specifically speaking about homosexuals but instead talking about sin in general and how it should be viewed. Certainly Homosexuality, being considered immoral is included in this as sin.
Titus 1 10 - 16
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretansare always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth. 15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
Talking about the New Jerusalem here but it's the same as others: See Romans 1 18-32
Revelation 21:27New International Version (NIV)
27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Here it's talking about ungodly people. 4 talks about ungodly people, 7 makes mention of Sodom and Gomorrah and their sexual immorality as already established in Romans 1 18- 32 and in Jude 1 17-19 it clearly points out that in the end times people will follow their ungodly desires of which Homosexuality is considered a part thereof.
Jude 1 3-23
The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People
3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contendfor the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b]long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[c] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[d]10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.
11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves.They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”[e] 16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[f]
Are you kidding me? It's temporal only? I'm sorry where does it say that? It's simply talking about the law every good Jew observed not the priesthood. As James put it
James 2:10New International Version (NIV)
10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Therefore if the law is good if used properly and if one stumbles at just one point breaks the entire law then one can assume that none are righteous and 8-11 applies to them. If man were capable of keeping the entire law there would have been no need for sacrifices and Jesus himself.
1Timothy 3-11
Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesusso that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
