I think that kind of arguments should be taken with a grain of salt. It generally seems quite possible to accomodate new knowledge into moral, religious, philosophical or spiritual ideas. The interesting question is whether one is willing to do that. It is not like any really fundamental change of opinions is necessary to accomodate for the possibility of homosexuality.

Well, obviously homosexuals are not better than "normal" people, so they will go about things the wrong way sometimes just as well. The cause never justifies using means that are bad. This applies to both sides of the debate. Using bad means will in the end just hurt the cause.
