Lines in the Bible about gays: 5 (and they're theologically debatable). Lines in the Bible about helping the poor and hungry: over two thousand.
Yeah.

I don't like this Pope. I don't wish ill on the man, but maybe he could... step down and they could pick someone else?

It's a bit hard to miss: We are to love our neighbour and leave the judging to God. No if, and, buts, or special pleading.

How many of those 5 are in the New Testament? "My daughter the theologian" has pointed me to several bit in it that view the Old Testament simply as interesting background reading. I do remember a bit in the Gospels disapproving of widows who remarry, but re gays the only reference she could think of was the centurion whose slave was healed - she said the words he uses in the Greek imply that they are in an affectionate sexual relationship.

There's nothing in the Gospels (other than the part you mention, which is ambiguous). Here's a pamphlet of Jesus's complete teachings on homosexuality.

There's a couple of mentions in Paul's letters, which I've seen argued various ways. Romans seems to be the one that comes up most.

This site has a nice overview of the clobber verses.
