Mention homosexuality and people's emotions get heated. I personally hold to the traditional bible teaching that we are to love and act gracefully to all people, while at the same time upholding truth.
One of the best examples of this is found in Jesus when he was confronted with a women caught in adultery. He said to her, "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more." Jesus was able to love the women without condemnation while at the same time pointing her to truth that could set her free.
In the case of homosexuality we are to without condemnation, point people to the teaching of God that sexual relationships are only appropriate between a man and women in a married relationship.
Here are some resources to find out more.
