After having it explained to me many, many times I still fail to see, apart from a few extremely tenuous verses, where the bible condemns homosexuality.

I think that it is just a side agenda that has been adopted by some Catholics and they have tried to justify it with the bible.

It was the main reason God burnt Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground because of it according to the Bible.  The word sodomy comes from Sodom.

Men having sex with men and women having sex with women is considered a sin because it deals only with pleasures of the flesh and has nothing to do with procreation.

The Pope is entitled to his opinion just as much as homosexuals are entitled to theirs in my opinion.  

I think that homosexual people have the right to do as they want and it doesn't bother me, but they shouldn't hold it against people that do find it to be "wrong" as long as they are not bashing them.    

I thought Sodom and Gomorrah were burned down to the ground because of prostitution?

In fact here's an article on how the homosexuality thing is a misconception.

I am not going to look it up, but I am 100% sure that it said that it angered God that men were having sex with boys and were prostituting THEM.

Like I said, I have no problem with a person being gay, but the Bible definitely has an opinion that's against it.
