In that case, how can they be expected to make any positive contribution to it?
Easy. Relieving suffering is my number one priority. It's pretty much all that matters in this world.

homosexual is not sin but shameful.

The drive-by shameful comment would be at least minimally acceptable as a personal opinion if there was some type of explanation. Leaving it plain seems like a "just because" is the explanation.

We can expect an "That's gross" response, if it's simply shameful.
Then again, shame is irrelevant when it comes to love between consenting adults.
In some respects, I think this begs a question: does having a sexual orientation have any meaning if you don't practice it? If you don't actually have sex, isn't it rather irrelevant?
Of course it has meaning. I suffer from attraction to the same sex but I do not act on it. Most people would say that I am bisexual because I suffer from attraction to the same sex and I am also attracted to the opposite sex. However, I am chaste and will not engage in sexual relations before marriage. I will also never engage in sexual relations with a woman. Neither will I ever enter into a "gay marriage". Most people of the Christian faith would say that I am not sinning just because I am attracted to the same sex. They would, however, say that I am sinning were I to act on those attractions.
Same-gender attractions are not an affliction to "suffer" from.

As long as Dylan O' Brien exists, I will never "suffer" from same-gender attraction.
Fair enough...You have questionable taste, but I agree with the spirit of it.
