'Infallibility' only applies to if the pope declares something 'ex cathedra.' That only happens rarely. It last happened in 1950 when Pope Pius XII defined the Assumption of Mary as dogma.

So, no, Pope Francis' views on homosexuality are not infallible. And if he were to attempt to declare that homosexual acts are no longer sinful, it wouldn't be infallible. It would be heretical.

Correct, but all he has to do is declare himself to be speaking ex cathedra, and then say being gay is okay.
