Dennis Prager has the best view on the subject I have read:

Judaism’s Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality

Doesn't matter if you believe in the Bible or not, Prager outlines practical reasons for opposing the homosexual agenda. Civilization itself is at stake.

Thanks, I have read that before and it is a good article. All of his reasons are practical. The one thing that I really don't agree with is that he doesn't take into acount everything. When you take into account 1 piece of the pie, it is easy to skew your answers the way you want, just choose a different piece if they don't.

Example, homosexuality is looked down upon in most of the world, even those parts of the world that are worse off because they did not follow the "western or biblical path." Their are many reasons why the west and the biblical people are better off. America for example didn't have to fight (big wars) to gain territory, we just moved onto it. Christian countries tend to have more freedom, so more people go to them and the smarter people come to them because they are free to explore all avenues (scientific and otherwise) that would be condemed in an Arab country for example. A huge factor would be schooling. Western Civilazation isn't better off because we view homosexuals as bad but because we educate people to become better than those that preceded them. The countries that are worse off than us don't.

I am not trying to come off as arrogant. I believe people can and should believe whatever they want. The only thing that I want is for people to rationally weigh all information before making a decision. Then after one has made a decision to be free enough and confident enough to change your mind if you are shown you are wrong. There are people that could have Jesus Christ himself come down and tell them that they are wrong and they would tell him to go check his facts. People will never learn anything if they just stick to what they know and refuse to hear anything else.
