Jude 1 of the NEW Testament (the one Christians follow, using the Old Testament only as a history book which was revised by Jesus) doesn't just give a passing glance to the problem God sees in homosexuality. It warns of total destruction. It reminds Christians in a rare agreement with some of the more brutal ways of the Old Testament that "homosexuality is a special case for Christians"..."watch out"... "you can reach out to the individual sinner, making a difference, but if you dare to promote the behavior as a new cultural value, you're going to the pit of fire yourself along with the damned.." (paraphrased).
Go ahead and read it for "my misinterpretations" of it which you will no doubt rebut.
Here's a snippet, reminding Christians of what they already know:
Jude 1: 3-8
3. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

And in case folks still claim it's unclear what Jude 1 was referring to, Romans 1 clears it up nicely:
Romans 1: 21-27
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
