"Morally wrong, because homosexuality is morally wrong"
Clearly have no understanding of the nature of morals. To insist that people must conform to your morals is fascism at its worst. Morality and ethical thought are totally subjective view points, just because some ancient dusty tomb makes some asinine and obsolite moral messages is no reason to discriminate against a whole group of people.
If I had my way the only place the bible would be viewable is a museum. However I believe in freedom (something the religious right can never hope to understand), and personal choise, and while people choose to religion I will defend that right.

The only way anyone can call something morally right or wrong is to appeal to a supernatural being. We ourselves are not capable of making objective rules (the reason being that we disagree a lot, and there is no consensus as to who is right and who is wrong). Without some code of ethic to work with NO ONE is able to denounce anything. We would all just end up with our own truth. The problem with having our own truth is that everyone believes that there is some standard, some code of ethic, that everyone must adhere to. Don’t tell me that guy took your seat you were just fine with it. You thought he wasn’t being fair, didn’t you? Well, what's wrong with being unfair? What's wrong with being mean? What's wrong with murder? What's wrong with the effects of murder?
You can't say that there is anything wrong with anything unless you have a moral code, given by a supernatural being! Life is unlivable without a moral law giver. Just follow the thought through to its conclusion. No objective law means nothing is really wrong. If nothing is really wrong then nothing can be punished or condemned. If there were no punishment our western world would be pure anarchy. And you couldn't say that there was anything wrong with it.
Christians believe that there has been a standard set forth in the Bible which gives us our understanding and basis of law. Homosexuality goes against that law. If you don’t like it then you had better find another supernatural moral law giver, rather than denying that there is a moral law. You cannot live you life with out being two faced when you say that there is no absolute moral law. You can't live that, it will only take someone to sit you down and ask you for a good reason why child abuse/murder/incest/rape/lying or cheating is wrong.
