I would hold that it is not morally justifiable for society
to pass laws which explictly impose sanctions upon any individuals
who perform acts privately between consenting adults, even
if it is "disgusting".  If God doesn't like it, let him
undertake to do the punishing.  

Conversely, I believe that is is justifiable to prevent them
from promulgating homosexuality, or other deviations, in
the public schools.

However, it is likewise not justifiable to force a private
businessman (or churches) to hire homosexuals, especially those whose
outward behavior is flamboyant or offensive to his customers.
He should be able to choose his own employees according
to what he feels suits his needs.
