O dear, here we go again. I blame Jon, who I think was the one responsible for enticing us off topic!

I don't know about 'privileged majorities', 'nevermodern' (incidentally, wouldn't 'alltoomodern' be a better pseudonym?) But I agree that it is inappropriate for religious groups, at any rate in this country, to play the 'victim' card too often (although I guess it is reasonable for them to protest if they think injustices are being done in particular cases). I would prefer them to concentrate more on persuading people that they have something positive to offer to individuals and to our society.

In my view, that is a travesty of the orthodox Christian position on homosexuality. I think that the majority of Christians would say that everyone is 'part of God's plan' but that most of us are 'abnormal', in the sexual sphere as in any other, in the sense that we do not live up to the model of being a human being which God intends for us.
