This is disgusting and wrong on so many levels that I'm having trouble trying to decide where to start.
Even if someone has the propensity for alcoholism, one does not become an alcoholic without drinking. The same cannot be said for homosexuality. Homosexuals can never have gay sex and remain homosexuals. Also, you could take it in the ass everyday for a year and not become homosexual. If you drink your entire paycheck for a year, assuming you can keep your job, you will undoubtedly be diagnosed as an alcoholic.
The problem with alcohol is immoderate consumption to the point that it causes harm to yourself or others. Immoderate consumption is perhaps considered sinful, but the activity itself is not. Gay sex on the other hand is considered sinful, even if engaged in just once.
Face it, you blindly accept an OT prohibition and will say anything in order to legitimize it and the consequent bigoted discrimination.
