Answer:

The Bible says lots of horrible things. The Bible says that you can execute people for cheating on their spouses (Leviticus 20:10), but you wouldn't do this, because you know that in a civilized democracy a person does not deserve to be executed for cheating. The Bible also says that you can keep slaves (Exodus 21:2-6), but you wouldn't do this either, because you know that slavery is an abomination. If these things aren't right just because they are taught in the Bible, condemning homosexuals (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13) isn't right just because it is taught in the Bible, either. So, if you want to be fair, you have a choice: endorse executing homosexuals as well as slavery, executing adulterers, and all of the other horrible things the Bible tells you to do, or endorse none of these. Most likely you will choose the latter. If so, you have just acknowledged that, no, a thing is not right just because it is taught in the Bible, and this includes condemning homosexuality.
