I don't think that you rationalize to morality. You may have to rationalize from moral principles for something which is a little different. But I don't think that you get to those principles through logic. How do you rationalize that it is wrong to kill others. At best you may take a pragmatic approach, but a pragmatic approach, but being pragmatical doesn't necessarily make it moral or immoral. Otherwise your not saying that it is right or wrong, but efficient. As well, the question doesn't even make sense in a subjective view of morality.
Killing others causes objective harm, the pain and suffering of both the person that is killed and their families and loved ones. Two men or two women having sex does not, unless you count a feeling that something is icky as objective harm.
