Answer from a Christian Perspective:
No It is not wrong or immoral to be a homosexual,HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT AGAINST The Bible!
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, & TRANS-GENDERED PEOPLE ARE LOVED BY GOD AS EVERYONE ELSE, AND THEIR LIVES AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE BLESSED BY GOD JUST AS HETEROSEXUAL'S ARE!
The problem is that many theologians throughout the ages have mistranslated the Bible, using translations of translationsand in the process not recognizing that certain Words such as "homosexual" were never in the original Greek or Hebrew texts, but added in later European Protestant translations!
As for the Hebrew scriptures' so called "prohibition" of homosexual acts, in Leviticus: "a man shall not lie with a man as with womankind, that is an abomination." This statement was referring to a specific culture at a specific time, in addition the term 'abomination,' is defined and used drastically different in our modern usage than the way in which it was defined and used 6000 years ago, or even 600 years ago for that matter! In the Hebrew Scriptures an 'abomination' was something that defied a health code.
Nothing More, Nothing Less!
The book of Leviticus is a book made up primarily of codes and regulations, which were created for a specific culture, at a specific time in history. In part, these codes were created as a means for the Hebrews to define themselves from other cultures, but the primary reason for the creation of these codes was due to a lack of knowledge in regards to hygeine. Due to this, certain codes of health were developed and were seen as very important to follow to the exact degree. If broken, it was actually seen as a betrayal of your community, even immoral!
Homosexuality, because of lack of knowledge and understanding was categorized as unclean and thus a break of one of the health codes, thus an 'abomination'. However, eating shell fish, wearing fabric made of two different types of material, or eating meat and dairy in the same sitting were also considered "abominations".
Most of these codes are not followed today because we recognize that they are simply health codes that existed solely for that community during that specific period in Hebraic history.
It's fascinating how most 'conservative'Christians have NO ISSUE with eating shrimp or lobster, or wearing polyester and cotton, or eating steak and mashed potatoes for that matter. Yet when it comes to homosexuality, they start quoting Leviticus!
The Hypocrisy WOULD BE entertaining if it weren't so sad and detrimental to the mental health and welfare of so many gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gendered people!
For Those individual's who are still confused about the Levitical Codes, I'll reiterate; These codes were created primarily for health reasons, and are NOT to be taken as moral codes handed down by the divine to all of humankind for all of time.
Thus, there is NO "SIN" in homosexuality, nor is there any TRULY VALID prohibition of homosexuality in the scriptures.
Jesus himself NEVER ONCE mentions the issue of homosexuality. Jesus speaks in regards to what he deemed to be all major sins, however, he never once spoke on, or even implied anything on the issue of homosexuality. If homosexuality was a sin, Clearly he would have made some concise effort to clarify that to the people.
God Doesn't make mistakes, and God judges people by whats in their heart.
St. Paul said: "neither male nor female, slave nor free, Greek nor Jew, for all are one in Christ Jesus" God doesn't judge people based on their gender, creed, social status, or sexual orientation, he judges based on who you are as an individual!
God's love is unfathomable and beyond our human understanding, but one thing we do know, is that God is among us, wherever there is love, whether that be between a man and a woman, or two women, or two men. Where love is present, so is God. Remember, when asked what were the primary commandments to follow, Jesus stated,
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul all your mind and all your strength, and love each other, as you love yourselves"
The truth is that Homosexuality is a natural part of the human condition. It has always existed in creation since the beginning of time. God created all people different, some people were created male, some female, some black, some white, some Asian, some Native American, some heterosexual and some homosexual. We are all given different gifts and talents, and we all have a different hand to play at God's table, which we are all welcome at!

Another Answer:
There is nothing wromg with Homosexuality at all, people i believe have negative views towards it due to the history of society and the heavy religious culture that existed in society not that long ago. The main religions are very old and therfore the scriptures of those religions are very old and were most likely written so that they fitted with the society at the time, society has changed alot since then and Homosexuality is being gradually being accepted by society which has started in the Christian world and will most likely spread to the rest of the world, in Africa for example, the laws regarding Homosexuality were made when the European nations colonized the continent and after gaining independance in the 20th century, these countries which are mainly Islamic nations retained the laws as it supported their religious views. Meaning no offense to any religious person here, I think that rwligiouw views need to be reviewed and that laws in these countries should be changed as they shouldn't be based aroung religion anymore. Some religious people will think that this answer is unfair but just as a question to them again meaning no offense, if homosexuality is so wrong then why does it exist? the mental disorder answer cannot be used as it has been proven to not me a mental disorder and further study has shown that biologically there are differences between Homosexual males/ females and Heterosexual males/ females respectively
