Here are a variety of resources that deal with the topic of homosexuality from a Christian perspective:
Sexual Ethics by Stanley Grenz. This book is a good overview of the subject of sexuality and includes an excellent chapter on homosexuality.
Issues Facing Christians Today (4th Edition) by John Stott. This excellent book addresses a variety of global, social and personal issues, including matters relating to sexuality.
Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics (3rd Edition) by Scott B. Rae. This introduction to Christian ethics also looks at a variety of current issues, including sexual ethics.
Welcoming but Not Affirming: An Evangelical Response to Homosexuality by Stanley Grenz.
Beyond Stereotypes: Christians and Homosexuality (not yet published) - a compilation by an Australian Evangelical Alliance working group on human sexuality.
Someone I Love Is Gay by Bob Davies and Anita Worthen. This is a good practical book for parents, friends, or spouses.
God's Grace for the Homosexual Next Door- Reaching the Heart of the Gay Men and Women in our World by Alan Chambers and the Exodus International Leadership Team. This books contains a compilation of chapters by a variety of authors addressing some of the key issues relating to homosexuality from a Christian perspective. At the end of the book, it has an extended list of resources for men, women, parents and pastors.
Exodus International is one of the largest information and referral ministries in the world addressing homosexual issues. You might want to visit their informative web site.
The Truth Comes Out by Nancy Heche. I have not read this book but it is recommended by Gene Appel, from Willow Creek Community Church, for parents who have children who are gay. Willow has a support group for parents in this situation called Someone I Love.
Sy Rogers has some very good teaching on the subject of sexuality.
Also, check out the Liberty Christian Ministries web site.
I highly recommend the chapter "Homosexual Marriage as a Challenge to the Church: biblical and cultural reflections" by Albert Mohler, in the excellent book 'Sex and the Supremacy of Christ', edited by John Piper & Justin Taylor. (free PDF download)
Mohler has some excellent points about approaching the debate in a more loving way, while remaining true to God's word. One point which stood out to me was that "We [the church] must be the people who love homosexuals more than homosexuals love homosexuality."
