Pre-marital sex. (Only harmful if you get pregnant and can't take care of the kid.)
But I can't off the top of my head think of the verse.
"Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" Hebrews 13:4.
I Corinthians 6:9-11, "Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God"

Homosexuality wasn't even mentioned in the bible until later editions of the text.
A lot of people believe that the original text was meant for something else, but was interpreted to mean homosexuality. Everyone interprets the bible differently...which is probably why homosexuality doesn't "hurt" or "effect" anyone...
If it was as big of a deal as most religious people make it out to be, it would have been a bigger deal in the bible...

Lust. Matthew 5:28. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
The above verse states that we are supposed to set our minds right, not lusting after other women, or having sinful thoughts. Thinking about it, even if you do not act on it is just the same as doing it, according to scripture.
I am assuming your trying to state that, "hey, it doesn't hurt anyone so it's ok then?", but the Bible states this is wrong. Your supposed to set your mind and your heart on what's right before God, not take the attitude of passiveness.

"You shall have no other Gods before me".
Exodus 20:2 (NKJV)
by worshiping other Gods, you hurt no one but yourself. Homosexuality is will always be a dalima with Christianity and other beliefs. Though I may not agree with the acts of homosexuality, it is not for me to judge it, that's God's job. If you feel that it isn't a sin, then don't justify it as one. Only YOU (if this is about you) have to stand in front of God in judgment and it is only God that knows your heart.
Even though there are several verses that say it's "an abomination" against God, still you have to deiced where you stand on that.
I hope this helped a little

Actually, homosexuality DOES hurt and have negative effects on others. I suggest you read Romans chapter 1:24-32.

Blaspheming the holy spirit hurts no one.

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

All sin has an effect on humanity and that includes homosexuality too.

B G said it well- about lust, because this means anyone-- not just someone who is married ( for lust will eventually hurt that marriage)
But above all, it is hurting GOD! That is what matters more than anything! It is not about us, it is about God!
