Actually, that still appears to be the stance if you read the Vatican release linked earlier. They don't actually call homosexuality a sin (the CNN headline is clickbait rubbish) but they actually state that anyone living outside of Church recognized wedlock (man + woman) is living in sin, whether heterosexual or homosexual.
So, you're right on what they say - being homosexual is not a sin, but acting on it is.
