No. The "two consenting adults" came in when he made a distinction between homosexual sex between "two consenting adults" and homosexual sex with minors. There is a difference, although even McBrien said that both were wrong.

He said, I wrote it down, "there is nothing wrong with homosexuality"..

This is a true statement, as it applies to orientation.

McBrien can be slimy at times, but he wasn't slimy tonight.

Well,McBrien may not have been slimy tonight but was instead slippery. Acccording to the New Catholic Catechism homosexuality is an inclination that is "disordered" and homosexual behavior is "depraved".So perhaps,by saying homosexual attractions weren't sinful he was technically correct but he deliberately minimized the unhealthy(disordered)aspect of the condition.
