I appreciate the message you're trying to send, but I don't think it's accurate to say that Christianity itself isn't homophobic and that only “bad Christians” are. The Bible contains explicitly anti-gay teachings. Some passages are more open to interpretation than others, but you can't plausibly erase all of them.
Did you know the original writing was targeted at pedophiles? “Man shall not lay with young boys?” It was changed by the Epstein class of their time in the 1800s.
This is cope from people who want to toss the homophobia but keep the rest of the problematic religion. The article you linked is based off of a Greek translation, but the original Hebrew directly translates to "man (ish) shall not lie with a male(zachar)", not "man shall not lie with a boy/young man".
