I used the racism example because of the similarities. You claim to not have a problem with gay people, but just think it's immoral for them to have sex. That is incredibly similar to someone claiming to not have a problem with a particular race, but just don't want them to mix with others.
Frankly, this issue will only be decided by the evolution of the social consciousness. The parallel to the civil rights movement is quite staggering, just with less widespread systematic violence.
Saying that being gay isn't wrong as long as they don't act on it is just as much pure bigotry as any other kind, but it is so ingrained in people's minds due to its religious foundation (another similarity with the old arguments against interracial marriage) that it won't go away until the bigots themselves die off.
And having the Straight Scouts is the same as having the White Scouts, for all morally intensive purposes.
And I never said you can't voice your opinion. Just expect a backlash, as some people tend to get that way regarding blatant bigotry.
