Just a few notes on Sodom and Gomorrah for those familiar with it and those who aren't. As all old texts are, the actually meaning is subject to broad interpretation. One of the more prevalent theories on the matter has to do not with homosexuality, but the attempted theft of power. It was once believed that to rape a man was to steal a part of his very essence and power. God sent two angels and Lot invited them to stay at his home. Upon seeing this, the townspeople approached Lots house, demanding to 'know' his visitors. Lot offers up his daughters in the angels steed (an odd thing to do if they were a bunch of homosexuals), and the townspeople reject his offer. The actual sin that S&G was punished for was presuming that they could steal a piece of the divine.
Anyway, that's the barebones story, and a common interpretation of what it means sprinkled in.
For the original question, I think you should love as you will. Of course, I'm not christian, so can by pass all the bible worries when deciding that.
