There is a line of thought that being homosexual isn't wrong, but its acting on those impulses that is.

I am inclined to feel that its not wrong, and what do I care about what someone else does in their bedroom. Unfortunately, since being homosexual has become more "right" than "wrong" over the last 2 decades, along with the loosening of morals on pre-marital sex, there seems to be a large acceptance on sexual promiscuity. More than acceptance... almost expectance. This leads me to believe its wrong, even though logically the two aren't necessarily related. Its also seemed like its more acceptable to be 'experimental' and trying to figure out your sexual preference, or acceptance for trying anything and everything. And I believe this to be immoral.

I had an issue, being Episcopal, with the appointment of the gay bishop that made news 2 or 3 years ago. But it wasn't that he was homosexual. It was because he was an adulterer. He cheated on his wife, put her health at risk, destroyed their family. It happened to be over another man. I don't believe someone that does that is in the right spritual mindset to make bishop.
