Part of me wants to hold on to the traditional Christian view that homosexuality is an abomination and scourge, which we should try to fight against as if it's a war for the souls of those who struggle with that sin, because it's the LOVING thing to do, because these people clearly are not happy and leaving the lifestyle is a step towards recovery and happiness.

MW has already addressed it, but drugs and promiscuous sex don't define the lifestyle of every homosexual. Just like the gang lifestyle doesn't define every urban youth's existence, or the clean-cut lifestyle doesn't define every Caucasian male in Utah County.
I'm a huge proponent of gay rights and equality, but I must admit I get very uncomfortable whenever a guy hits on me.
