I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say Christianity teaches us to be ashamed of sex lol. I'm certainly not. I think people (in and out of the church) confuse the notion of keeping sex sacred with being ashamed of it.
1. There are no sexual acts that are exclusive to homosexuality, though. A straight married couple can do whatever any two guys would want to do with each other. 2. So it can't be the actions that bother most theists. It has to be something else.
1. It's about what they physically can't do, not what they can.
2. No, because sex between a straight couple who is not married, or who is divorced and remarried, or who is married but has sex in a selfish way, is also contrary to our views on sexual morality.
Any Christian who treats gays badly or sees their sins as "worse" than ours is obviously bigoted against gays on a personal level. And it shouldn't be about that. None of us are perfect and we ALL sin. Heck, if I was gay I highly highly doubt I'd be able to live a celibate life forever, as would be morally ideal for me to do so. I reserve 0 judgement for those people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
