I’d prefer if they brought homosexuality into a broader discussion of promiscuity vs. sexual purity. Promiscuous heterosexuals and homosexuals have the same issues of disease, broken hearts, hardened hearts, messed up children, rape, abortion, etc. Pastors need to stress that sexual sins hurt people. Adam and Steve aren’t just sweetly holding hands. And their propensity did not arise from thin air— one or both were likely the victims of abuse before they met each other.

Sexual purity— saving yourself for marriage, as a gift to God and your spouse and your children, needs some vocal support. People have to get back to aspiring to holiness.

Quite true, as long as we keep stressing that marriage is between a man and a woman and is not up for redefinition. I totally understand your point, but our testimony needs to remain: that homosexual acts are sinful in and of themselves, regardless of whatever other dysfunctionalities there might or might not be. It doesn't matter how tender or loyal or rewarding the homosexual relationship is in a certain case. We need to stay clear on that and not be distracted by collateral issues.

Good point. I read a reliable source (quoted by Dr. Dobson) that whereas something like 80% of heterosexual women and 70% of heterosexual men were faithfully monogamous, the corresponding figures among homos was something like 6% and 4% respectively.

They are not like us. Not even close.
