It means that your words can be construed to be supportive of homosexuality.
Your youth prevents you from seeing that it was just a few years ago that homosexuality and bestiality were viewed in the same light. That was the culture in which I was raised. Assuming that you're about 20 years old, it was the culture of just a decade before your birth.
And suddenly it became 'misguided' or 'homophobic.' We have lived through that transition.
Were we wrong? I don't think so. There is no fundamental difference between bestiality and homosexuality. It is a rejection of the natural use for an unnatural one, per Romans 1 & 2.
There is nothing about consenting adults that really changes the nature of the homosexual act. It kills people at an extremely early age, it spreads disease, and it threatens the infection of the population. Legislatures are well within their purview to control such practice to promote the general welfare.
One cannot make "right" extend to that which would have negative impact on the community at large.
Depends on what you mean by "supportive." Personally, I find it icky. Theologically, I know it is sinful, but no more so than indifference to the poor. Practically, I realize that trying to regulate this kind of behavior will simply lead to driving it underground - and create huge potentials for blackmail. At the end of the day, unless you are me, my friends, or in my church, what you do with consenting adults on your own time is none of my business.

Matter of degrees. Recall that extramarital sexuality in Romans 1 also was a rejection of the "natural" for an "unnatural."

I disagree. Extramarital heterosexual sex can kill people at an early age, it can spread disease, and threatens the infection of the population too. As a retired chaplain, you had to have seen this.

Sure you can. If I want to go buy a bottle of booze, and drink myself till I'm blasted, who's gonna stop me? Prohibition never works.
