Race is an immutable characteristic in which there is no choice. You do not "act" in order to express that immutable characteristic.
With sexual orientation, you have to act in order to express that immutable characteristic. It is that action where the commandment is broken. Christ says it is better to bear that cross, and not act, then to go to hell. This leads me to believe it is a sin. But I secretly believe immutable characteristics that require acts in order for them to be expressed are judged differently. Very differently.
