There are a certain set of behaviors which society at large generally will not tolerate in public and those things are enforced by law, but if you dig a little deeper, from a historical position, you find that many of them were based on prevailing religious views. So I see how one group of people may define homosexuality from a morality position and another group does not see it that way.
Yeah, views on homosexuality have changed a lot in the past few generations and that is why I don't really get worked up when a vote gets passed to ban gay marriages because I know in thirty years, that will change.

But yeah, you are right, my views will probably never be even tried to be understood by people that were raised in past generations where homosexuality was seen more a moral issue than a sexual preference.
