Newsflash:
The Bible is not the 'be all and end all' of all things in the in the universe.

When the Bible is used to promote prejudice and intolerance it is being misused IMO.
How about this verse?
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Child, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life".
In Isaiah 56:4-5, the Lord addresses the eunuchs, and those who do not participate in the dominant culture of preserving name and family through children: "For thus says the Lord: to the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast to my covenant, I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument better than sons and daughters, I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off."
Note that eunuchs could not keep the covenant in the same way as heterosexuals - they could not dedicate their first born sons for instance - and so, gay people CAN keep the covenant of the Law of Love - to love the Lord God and ones fellow human beings - but the way they do so might be slightly different from heterosexuals.
