I think that there's no sin according to theosophy but there's non-
constructive waste of energy.

Surely not.

Probably somewhat different, for a "heterosexual action in lust" is 
just a step down on a scale of nature, yet quite natural as a 
heritage of an animal kingdom. From the other hand some say that 
homosexuality has its origins in sexual overstimulation during 3rd 
root race, or even in the Moon Chain.

I think that the personality is homosexual, not the Higher Self; but 
it's the latter moves into 6th root-race, not the personality.
(Some say that there could be such trivial reasons for homosexuality 
as being woman in the last incarnation).
Moreover, there are still many centuries AT LEAST before inauguration 
of the 6th race, so there are many incarnations before all of us to 
make ourselves fit to 6th race till it will really come.

There were one or two homosexuals in this list; maybe they shall give 
more qualified answers.
