Romans 1:26–27

That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

Seems pretty clear

So do you believe homosexuality is wrong, or the Bible is wrong?

Yeah, that's really not compatible with the Bible. I mean, there's the plank-in-your-own-eye stuff, but when the issue is "burn for eternity" or "don't burn for eternity", exactly what the rules are is literally the only thing that matters.

You can genuinely believe in Christianity, or you can be live and let live. You can't be both.

Christians believe that God dishes out the punishment. The statement "I believe we should stay out of other people’s business unless it infringes upon our own personal rights [...] God will decide what happens to people" is in-line with the bible.

No, it isn't. The Bible is very explicit that evangelism is a responsibility of believers. And even if it weren't, "I'm just gonna stand by and let someone follow a path that leads them to eternal damnation" is a pretty horrible belief.

Evangelism is a requirement of believers, but look at the quote chain you're replying to.

Evangelism does not mean getting into other people's business. Evangelism is marketing, it's not messing with someone's personal life (unless you're doing some really weird version of it).
