Brother, this is wholly incorrect. Lut (as) offered his daughters as wives in marriage in a last ditch attempt to "change" his people.
I am not sure if these verses are speaking out against homosexuality or not, but yes, it is speaking out against transgressive lust. IMO, lust is no different than biological urge to mate and as such there is nothing wrong with lust per se...but rather the problem is with lust gone amok.
