Please read the previous verse (Romans 1:27) which DOES speak of women. You can argue away the truth if you don't have a love for it and a true desire to love and please God but rather a to please your flesh. But this does not change the truth or God, just your judgement on that final day! Please also read 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.

“Putting aside fears, prejudices, resentments and hatreds and showing Christian love and compassion for all people is the mark of true children of God. Anger, hatred, harsh words, retaliation and revenge only result in more of the same.”
Only love can conquer evil (Romans 12:17-21).

I agree with what God says! Whatever he says that settles it!!! It’s not what man says, think or feel that matters it’s what he (God) says. Heaven and earth shall pass away but the word of God shall stand!!!

This is a curse of disobedience. We need to learn from this.

It is what is evil is! And, again God, our creator, because it was Adam and Eve; God made a woman out of Adam’s rib, He never made another man out of it.

There is a reward for good and for evil. What is received is based upon what is put out. Good for good and evil for evil. The sad thing is that in our modern minds, it is okay to have unnatural affections for the same sex. It is now celebrated on our televisions.

"and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet". Is this a reference to aids ?

It doesn't say "women with women" in the verse. It merely says "men with men" and what is "unseemly" is that which they WORK.
