The Bible doesn't condemn homosexuality, it only condemns homosexual sex. So, by this logic, homosexuality is not a sin; homosexual sin is. I have no problem with this. Here I was, thinking that christians condemned homosexual love, when they just condemned homosexual sex. So....
Do you condemn both, one, or either?

Does it matter?

What happens on the outside is not so bad as what happens on the inside. Matthew 23. You can clean the outside all you want and never even kiss the opposite species, but if you still lust after them you commit homosexuality in the sight of God. Same thing with being caught up in angry rage, lust when married, covetous thought. You see Jesus came and said, "you people think you are upholding the commandments by not stealing, but if you even think of stealing you sinning". In other words Jesus set the standard much higher than the Old Testament, whereas the Old Testament mentioned what if you actually physically broke the law, Jesus said that God matters more about even considering it.
Jesus set high standards. But I would rather live according to God's moral standards than my own, because then I would be my own god.

Don't hate the homosexual. Hate the sin.
