Nope:
Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.
On a personal note, I'm neither male, nor a prostitute, nor a sodomite. I'm married and have sex exclusively with my wife, so I'm neither a fornicator nor an adulterer. I'm free across the board here. Woo hoo!

This isn't even taking into account the Old Testament, in which homosexuality is clearly defined as a sin.

Nope. Homosexuality itself is not addressed, only certain homosexual acts when committed by males in certain circumstances. The bible also condemns heterosexual acts quite frequently, but I seldom see this read as a blanket condemnation of heterosexuality.
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~Lynn Lavner
Also, with the new covenant brought by Jesus, the laws of the old testament no longer apply, unless you happen to be Jewish.

For the life of me I can't understand why people are trying to purposely contort what the Bible says for the sake of their own argument.

I agree completely. High five!
