It real simple.
The OT law is divided into 3 parts.
The social law. these laws govern day to day life. What to eat, slaves, loans, Marriage, farming and the like.
The cermonial law. these laws govern the worship of God. When, How, sacrifices, what animals to use, how to make and bless the items for use in the temple, preists, how they should look what they wear how to conduct the business of woship.
Then there is the Moral law. These cover basic behaivor, the "thou shalt nots" of the bible. Homosexuality is covered under the moral law, as is every other sexual sin.
Take note that under the new covenant established by Christ and outlined in the NT of the bible, only the Moral law is used as a guide to determine who is a follower of Christ, and subsequently saved by Grace, and not through our works so no man can boast.
If Christianity had been meant to incorperate the whole of the OT into our worship, then we would be old testament Jews and not Christian.
