The whole concept of "the hammer of homosexuality", as the OP suggested is a weapon that will help to defeat Christianity by showing their bigotry and ignorance, is unfortunately short-sighted, in my opinion.
Just like they did with slavery, once the generation that fiercely defended Biblical inerrancy on the subject dies off, the following generations will change their minds, and then time will forget that the old generation existed. They will declare that they were always against homophobia, just as modern Christians refuse to acknowledge that the US Civil War was motivated in large part by Southern Christians who felt that the Bible specifically required permanent, heritable, race-based slavery (Leviticus 25:44-46, among others). In another generation, you'll have a hard time finding a Christian under 60 who is anti-gay; in another generation you'll have young Christians telling you there was never any serious Christian homophobia, just a few miscreants who weren't "real" Christians.
By then, I'm sure there'll be some other major issue for the religion to dig up and attack as the latest, greatest crisis their leaders assure them is setting the nation "against God", and which will let them vent their fear, prejudice, and myopia in a way that causes them to be able to feel morally superior while basking in their willful ignorance.
And, just like today, they'll have good-hearted Christians apologizing on their behalf.
you are probably right and i did think about that but I can dream right?
