Nominally, the Quran has the same stance as the Old Testament (requiring anyone engaging in a homosexual act to be put to death).
I don't think this is true. I don't think there is a death penalty for homosexuality in the Quran. Of course a lot of Islamic countries are completely insane and have little to do with the Quran or historical Islam, but at least my mosque seems pretty reasonable. I think you just ask about this in your local mosque.
