You say it's hypocracy to rant and rave about things such as homosexuality while ignoing such things as planting seeds and wearing two seperate materials, but I tell you that it is your ignorance of the Bible that makes you feel that way.
What is the punishment for homosexuality according to Leviticus?
What is the punishment for wearing two separate fabrics?
If you knew these answers, you would understand why your argument is an ignorant one.

It depends on if you're depending on Lev 18 or 20 for your death sentence and your reading of the text. If 20, then you have to apply the same to anyone who insults their father/mother (Leviticus 20:9:"If anyone insults his father or his mother, he shall be put to death, he has insulted his father and his mother -- his bloodguilt is upon him" JPS Pentateuch).
However according to Leviticus 20:13 there is no punishment for homosexuality. There is only punishment according to Leviticus for a single act of homosexuals, a particular form (if you look at the original Hebrew you will understand -- I can't post specifics without them being starred out) of a particular act of homosexuality.
Being homosexual and engaging in homosexual acts besides that specific one mentioned in Leviticus 20:13 is absolutely fine.
So to answer your first question: the punishment for homosexuality according to Leviticus is nonexistant.

Just to point out some other interesting Leviticus facts:
Lev 18:19 requires the same penalty for men who have relations with their wives during their period as for men who have relations with men. Lev 18:20 requires the same penalty for men who have relations with their neighbour's wife.
Et Cetera.
When you ridiculous people start calling down the same penalties and rabid hatred for people who commit those same violations of the purity codes maybe you'll get someone to listen to your hate-filled words regarding homosexuality. Which thankfully isn't against the Bible's teachings. Nor Christ's.

Here is the fatal flaws in your argument. Leviticus 18 gives a list of the Lords commandments to the Jews and at the end of the list, gives the punishment for all of the crimes given in Leviticus 18.
The punishment: "For whosoever commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
This covers crimes such as lying with an adulterer, incest, sex during the 'period', taking the Lords name for profane reasons and lying with animals. It does not say the punishment is death as it does with homosexuality.

Also, you failed to answer my question so I will do so for you.
Leviticus 20:13 says that if a man were to lie with a man as he does a woman than they have both commited an abomination and they surely must be put to death. Combined with the fact that Leviticus also states that GOd said these punishments also apply to those who have commited the crimes in their soul, I would say you are again incorrect.
Furthermore, wearing two fabics does not carry a punishment. It just means that you are temporarily unclean.

"Leviticus 20:13 says that if a man were to lie with a man as he does a woman than they have both commited an abomination and they surely must be put to death."
This is what it says in English. The Hebrew is much more clear as to what 'action' is specifically barred.

(Matthew 22:...)
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
(Where in this can be read you can hate gays???)
(Or,for that matter...anybody else???)
