You think it's only incidentally related that Islam declares that gay sex is wrong with divine authority and that gay children growing up in Islamic households have an increased likelihood to feel shame about their sexuality, or that Islamic societies have an increased likelihood to discriminate against gays.
That seems implausible to me.
Do you really sincerely believe that there's no connection between Islamic teaching on gay sex and, say, the anti-gay laws seen in many Islamic countries?
Your second argument is that if gay sex actually is a moral truth then it wouldn't be immoral to teach it. Correct. But I don't believe it is a moral truth. I think on this it is your burden to demonstrate that it is a moral truth. That's a very difficult burden to shoulder.
