I suspect that this isn't going to have very much effect, since people opposing homosexuality are likely to do so out of a instinctive revulsion and rationalize the reasons afterwards. (Note that there are both religious and atheist homophobes, and both religious and atheist people who have no problem with it.) On the other hand, it might convince a few rare individuals... and if you can prevent even a couple of homophobes from hurting other people, that is definitely something to applaud.
I don't think that the point is to convert the homophobic, but rather to make it easier to refute them, and thus make it harder for them to convert tolerant but apathetic christians to their side.
