It's even worse; the passage you cited might be a mistranslation, it uses two different words for "man" in Hebrew and can be interpreted as "A man shall not lie with a boy as he would lie with a woman". So it forbids pedophilia not homosexuality between adults.

Edit: Christianity is a looooong game of telephone where everyone passing along the message has a different agenda.

Yep. All facilitated by the fact that nobody will bother to take the time to learn Hebrew to read the original text, so some guy, perhaps someone named James, goes ahead and translates it whichever way they want to.
