I read the Bible frequently.

Do you?

Seems to me that the churches that want to ban homosexuality are the ones practicing selective rules, not the other way around.

Jesus taught 'Love your neighbor as you would love yourself' and 'Judge not lest ye be judged'. That's it.

True Christians need to live their lives as Jesus taught and lived. Period.

yes god did teach those things but he never preached tolerance which is what you seem to be implying. there is a huge difference between tolerance and loving
did god ever support criminals? the answer is no. why should this be treated any differently than any other sin?

Here's a link I found that might relate to this discussion a bit.
Florida Baptist Witness: Publishing Good News since 1884
I found this part amusing...
“You’ve said that we’re saying hate speech, and yet, as I’ve introduced myself to you, I’ve been called dumb, I’ve been called a man who copulates with his mother [and] I’ve been called a serpent. Who here is exercising hate speech?” Pollock asked."

Uh, Romans (capitalized, BTW, out of respect) is not in the Old Testament.

If you read your Bible as much as you say, you would know that.
