I'm going to make a radical departure from the norm and play serious for a moment. The Christian church, or at least its more conservative elements, is perceived as the archenemy of the homosexual. It is, for the church and the world observing it, a ridiculous position. The message of Christ is love for all men, flawed as we are. Homosexuality is wrong because God created man-woman intimacy as the sacred right, and as with "let there be light," the rest became darkness. But for all the spotlight on gays, the error is the same for heterosexual ignorance of God. The lonely human heart is driven to terrible ends to soothe itself. But for all of us, the message of Christ is Love rather than condemnation. A homosexual can't help his sexuality nor a heterosexual his own lusts. But the Kingdom offers Love regardless, Love that heals hearts and makes men new. God is compelling because he wins us with his Love. The Christian commission is to do no less for the world.
