I fail to see how this is related to the bible saying homosexuality is wrong tho...

Slavery was in the bible, the bible says slavery is good and that slaves should obey. Society at large no longer accepts that slavery is okay, and the church has changed its stance on slavery.

Homosexuality as a sin is in the bible, the bible says homosexuality is a sin and you should not be a homosexual. Society at large no longer accepts that homosexuality is a sin, and you can't see how these sentences were entirely the same up until the point where the church has recanted on slavery, and hasn't recanted yet on homosexuality?

The only way these things aren't the EXACT SAME THING is that you don't WANT to be okay with homosexuals and you do want to be okay with abolishing slavery. It's a matter of personal opinion only.
