If you were selling your home would you allow someone to buy it if you knew they were gay?

I'm just trying to understand by going through scripture for an answer. Before the question was asked I wouldn't even have thought about it. The general consensus is to love, help and accept homosexuality. I'm not seeing that backed up by the bible. I know we've been taught that over the years but I'm not sure now that it's the right way to go. We have been strengthening the hand of evil and letting it flourish.
Whoring is not biblically acceptable either, yet Yeshua's response to any encounter with those of the "scarlet letter" variety was always courteous and helpful.

I couldn't sit back and help someone further their sin if I loved them. Do you usually help your loved ones secure a position in hell? Would you strengthen the hand of evil knowing it would take you there also?

How do you get past Job 8:20 if Jesus sets the example should we not follow?

I do not believe your actions are going to secure a loved one's position in Hell or out of it for that matter. Human beings are always responsible for their own behavior and they are going to do what they are going to go regardless if you sell a house to them. We are not responsible for others behavior or the consequences of it.

As for Job 8:20, I fail to see how it is in play here. It talks about God not rejecting the blameless and not strengthening the hand of evil doers. We are not God. Jesus did tell us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Refusing a qualified buyer is by no stretch of the imagination loving them or treating them with any compassion whatsoever.
