That is an incorrect translation of Leviticus 18:22
There are many translations…
The original Hebrew was:
וְאֶ֨ת־זָכָ֔ר לֹ֥א תִשְׁכַּ֖ב מִשְׁכְּבֵ֣י אִשָּׁ֑ה תּֽוֹעֵבָ֖ה הִֽוא:
With the diacritical signs? …
translated in common English versions as:

1) Lesbianism is perfectly acceptable according to this, so homosexuality is not outright condemned by the bible.
Perhaps having a preconceived notion isn’t doing you any justice. Refer to Roman 1:24-28, I shall guide you like a goat herder?

Tutu said: “If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn’t worship that God.”
So Tutu defies his own god, openly. May I add he called his own god homophobic, and prays to his god with the same tongue…

Here’s the thing why defend Tutu’s paradox? does Tutu condemn homosexual behaviour to death before or after he accepts it? or does he put his god’s rage locked in a box at every upset caused,
2) It says "thou shalt not..," or "You shall not" - so if it is a woman reading the verse does that mean she should not lie with a male as with a female?
Tutu told journalists that “I am deeply disturbed that in the face of some of the most horrendous problems facing Africa, we concentrate on ‘what do I do in bed with whom’.”
Well seems like a political statement which Tutu concerns him not with who lies with who. But to answer you refer to verse above.
3) What does lie with a male as with a woman specifically mean?
This verse is self explanatory and you merely proving a point that distorting them is more exhausting than accepting the clear meanings. Check main stream bible scholars commentary on this.
Is it a prohibition of penetrative sex specifically?
mishkav zakur or “lie with a male” is also used in the bible to distinguish women who are virgins from those who are not, which indicates it refers to penetrative sex so what about other forms of sexual pleasure between men aside from anal sex?
Here again you exhausting all avenues to carve a way for homosexuality. Romans 1:24-28 further expounds on the seeking sexual pleasure from the same gender, FYI Tutu’s god only mentions two genders, Im seeing a trend with Tutu’s god…

True Christians do not accept homosexuality or this LGBTQ++ nonsense. It's immoral and wrong. One of the reasons Sodom and Gamorah was destroyed by God.

And Tutu was always a fake man of the cloth.
A whining clown.

He didn't call god homophobic, you seem to be the one saying that. He sad if god was homophobic he wouldn't worship him. The fact that he does worship god shows he he thinks god is not homophobic. If we are created in gods image, then either god is all sexual orientations or he made a mistake. Or we're not created in his image

Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by this moral god? Then why did the following happen if this is a story about morality in the bible:

1. Why did Lot give his virgin daughters to the townspeople to rape rather than allow them to rape the angels sent to warn him to get out?
2. Why did Lot's daughters make him drunk?
3. Why did his daughters commit incest with their father?
4. Why were the daughters impregnated by their father?

Do true Christians accept this state of affairs as acceptable but not homosexuality?

I also note most of the laws of Leviticus regarding menstruation, killing of women and the killing of anyone the works on the Sabbath like a cop does, is never obeyed by Christians.

When last did females of your household sacrifice a turtle or dove after menstruation?

Or do you get to choose which laws Christians get to obey?

It amazes me that a god that created the entire universe (Twice - In different sequences) has such a great concern about what his creations do with their genitals.
