Rom 1:
24 Therefore God gave them up to vile impurity in the lusts of their hearts, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
The contrast is "men with men" vs "men with women".
2. There are a great many married people today who have zero chance to have children because of age - that is not the definition of "unnatural relations" in any text of scripture that I know of.
You are free to insert whatever other agenda you may have into the text - but it has to be logical to be compelling to others.
Your argument at this point is not "sola scriptura" it is "sola insert" in a kind of "extreme inference" insert to a text that only speaks about homosexuality.

It is not what I say -- I am simply quoting the text.The result is their homosexual acts, the difference is on what you say is exchanged. The term “natural relations”.
The contrast is "men with men" vs "men with women".
1. There is no "likely a child" statement in the entire chapter.When men and women have natural relations, the end result is most likely a child.
2. There are a great many married people today who have zero chance to have children because of age - that is not the definition of "unnatural relations" in any text of scripture that I know of.

Many millions do not consider their inability to have children "mimicking homosexuals" neither does the chapter discuss your subject at all.Why would a married couple wish to mimic a homosexual
