And strangely enough, churches still like to trot out Malachi 3:10 that talks about giving 10% of your income.

> Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

And not to mention that the New Testament doesn’t say anything about homosexuality.

You seem to have read the Old Testament. I would encourage you to also read closely the New Testament. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus affirms we should give tithes as well as justice and mercy. As for homosexuality, read Romans 1.
Not all homosexuality is as described in Romans 1, just as not all heterosexuality is not as described in Romans 1.

There is a big difference between heterosexuality within a loving, monogamous relationship and without such, just as homosexuality within a loving, monogamous relationship and without.

As long as homosexuality is monogamous and within a loving relationship, it is no different, meaning no more or less sinful, than a monogamous heterosexual relationship within a loving relationship.
