I'm aware of the controversy surrounding the wording. Paul himself makes it pretty clear what he meant if you read what he says elsewhere. Despite the theological gymnastics liberal Christians like to pull off whenever homosexuality is mentioned, even they haven't given an answer to what Paul wrote in the Epistle to the Romans:
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." (Romans 1:26-27)
Well I have heard them say that Paul is really saying that this condemns homosexual behaviour for heterosexuals (wut?), but other than that...
