It's pretty black and white that the Bible condemns homosexuality, there is no rationalization required.
The rationalization is the other way around. Many Christians no longer believe that homosexuality is wrong and they are faced with having to abandon the Bible as a guide for morality or coming up with complex interpretive efforts to align the text with modern moral perspectives.
Of course, most Christians chose the latter option or abandon the Old Testament, which is almost impossible to defend by modern moral standards, and stick with the New Testament which is a bit more vanilla.
