A lot of things Christians do today would be considered immoral to Christians back in the middle ages.
Exactly. I mean we all know about the affairs, the straight fornication, the drugs, the list goes on...
The OP is right though, many people have pointed out this fallacy with religion before.
I also think that the whole "choice" aspect of homosexuality says absolutely nothing about whether it's "moral". You can think homosexuality is a choice (which in itself doesn't offend me, tbh), but there's still no real moral grounds to be against it based on that.
It's also "unnatural" and "a choice" to wake up in the morning with a roof over your head, put clothes on and drive you car to work. Is that immoral? If people are so caught up on "what's natural" they should be living naked out in the forest somewhere.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
