A very sizeable percentage of homosexuals are very averse to keeping their orientation and activity PRIVATE. They INSIST on rubbing it in others' faces and even in converting, recruiting. It's just a fact. They do. A lot of them do.
AND there's the issue that even X numbers of acting out people in any kind of rebellion against God will tend to influence spiritual dimensions in an area. That hurts everyone in the area.
Rebellion is never neutral. It always influences the community. Just because the cause/effect relationship is hard to draw is no proof it isn't there. This is true of arrogant preacers, angry Christian wives, alcoholic Christians, physically abusive Christians . . . and of homosexuals acting out as well--whether private or not.
Rebellion against the Designer arises partly out of an attitude. People don't take off and put on attitudes as they jump in or out of bed. Attitudes are underlying ways of being in the world. They have far reaching influence.
If they do anything that infringes upon the rights of others, including and especially with regard to minors, then they should be punished for that.

In which case those preaching in favor of accepting Christ and becoming a Christian should become even more vocal about the value of doing so. But I see no scriptural basis for encouraging Christians to pass laws making the activities of non-believing, non-covenant people illegal.
