May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for EVERYONE else, just as ours does for you.
Thessalonians 3:12
Everyone else includes gay people you know. And while you may think homosexuality is a sin, mindless and ignorent prejudice is a worse sin. If you really believe that the day of judgement will seperate the good from the evil ask yourself where the people who outcast their fellow men and are prejudiced against 10% of the worlds population will be going.
I spoke because I believed
Corinthians 4:13
Some people are fat through genetics, some (and I know many in this category) are fat through indulgence and laziness; the second group can be told that they are wrong and can change. There is no emperical evidence that being gay is genetic, yes, I have read the research.
I find it interesting that you quote from the New Testament, which was written to believers, not unbelievers. And like many atheists (which I presume you are from your choice of screen name) you don't really understand the Biblical use of the word "love".
2 Cor 4:13-15
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I believed, therefore I spoke, "we also believe, therefore also we speak; 14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God. NAS
Paul is expressing his belief and faith in the truth of the gospel, not his faith in human nature and justifying sin.
