Please explain to me how that is ignorance.

The belief that homosexuality is immoral isn't in and of itself ignorant. However, many of the justifications used to support that belief are a reflection of personal ignorance. For instance, the widely made claim in the 80s and early 90s (and still believed by some today) that only homosexuals or those who have sex with homosexuals can get HIV is ignorant. The belief that homosexuality leads to pedophilia is ignorant. The belief that all homosexuals are promiscuous and hate monogamy is ignorant. And so on and so forth.

So while saying "homosexuality is immoral" isn't inherently ignorant, it is rare that one finds someone who can support that belief apart from ignorant claims about the world around them. The smart move is to just claim you believe it because it's in the Bible/Quran/etc. and move on.
