Is that the "lay with another man" bit? I'm pretty sure there's arguments over the original text, and scholars think it originally meant "don't have sex with little boys" not don't have sex with men.
It's very specific, and it's in many places across the entire Bible. It's written with the same concept, in different ways, leaving no room for misinterpretation when you read the entire thing.

Romans 1:26-27 (NIV):
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV):
1 Timothy 1:9-10 (NIV):
