There are many problems with the assertion that homosexuality is not sinful and is fully condemned. The whole picture of the Biblical narrative is heterosexual, from Adam & Eve to Christ & his bride the Church. Jesus's own teaching on marriage (Matthew 19) reflects that.

jesusmovement:

My exegesis applies heightened scrutiny to much of the Book of Genesis, as  much of its contents were passed down orally long before they were written, and as it contains two varying creation narratives that were obviously derived from Mesopotamian mythology. Also, Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 19 was in response to a question on divorce, not marriage. 

Lastly, I think your idea of what God is, is seriously flawed. God does not condemn. God does not damn. And the only “problem” with our declaration that no sexual/romantic orientation or gender identity/expression is sinful or fully condemned is that you make it your concern when it should not be!

Go worry about the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Go bug the Koch Brothers and others destroying our environment and profiting off the backs o the poor. Go advocate for an unconditional basic income, so that no one has to do without the basic necessities of life. Those are issues that warrant your concern.
