Here, let me rub your nose in it:

“No, it’s not a sin to love somebody,” Warren said. “It might be a sin to have sex with them,” he added. “It might be.”

“might be” means “possibly could not be”.

Now, don’t poop on the carpet again.

Where in that quote does he refer to homosexuals? It’s a sin for an unmarried man and woman to have sex also. Why could he not be referring to that?

You clean the freaking carpet and take a reading comprehension course while you’re at it.

I'm no fan of Rick Warren, but the way I read that statement, he isn't speaking to just homosexual acts. It isn't a sin to love somebody. A man who loves his wife is not sinning. It also isn't necessarily a sin to have sex with someone you love: a man who sleeps with his wife is not sinning. The "it might be" statement, to my understanding, acknowledges that there are situations in which having sex with someone you love is a sin--sex outside of marriage, for example, or homosexual acts, although Warren does seem to dodge the line of questioning a bit.
