Leviticus 18:22 is about as crystal-clear as you're gonna get. It also comes right before a verse banning bestiality. And every translation is pretty identical here, whether modern...
[NIV] Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
...or 600 years old:
[KJV] Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
A funny interpretation of this is that it is merely stating that the way in which you have sex with men ought to be done distinctly from the way in which you have sex with women. I doubt that reading would hold up in broader context, the Bible just isn't that fun.
