Here is that same Romans 1:26-27, in the Catholic translation.



Romans 1:26-27 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)



"For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error."

You are correct. Not forbidden but not encouraged. Not a wise policy given that bible interpretation is, well open to interpretation.
