So long as another person isn't unvoluntarily harmed, it is not immoral to me. It may not be what I would want to do, but, then, I there's a lot of things I don't want to do that others do. Child pornography is immoral and considered more so today than it was 40 years ago.

If the willingness to accept others as they are, to let others alone because of their sexual preference or practices is moral decline, then I say we need more of it. Accepting others as they are is not immoral, judging them for being different is (and that includes race, religion, creed, sexual preference) IMO.
I absolutely agree Red. Another thing that I think is that a person is born gay or heterosexual. I don't think they can be changed. A lot of people do think it is a choice.
