Voted up for thinking about the problem, self-honesty, and more importantly for speaking up. (I don't quite understand whence the downvotes... just screaming "Boo!" at outgroup beliefs?) [Edit: at the time of this comment, the parent was at -5.]
It seems to me that by "sin" you just mean things that make you go "Squick!". Why do you expect that, if we found the relevant stone tablet, it wouldn't read "Spitting on the floor is wrong. Ew, tuberculosis.", nor "Maximise your score at Tetris.", but "Homosexuality is wrong."?
I'm really having trouble not snickering as I write this. I literally cannot empathise with "Homosexuality is wrong". I can sorta picture "Gay sex? Squick!", but the obvious followup is "Squick isn't a good criterion", not "Homosexuality is wrong". Also, pray tell, what (rather, whom) should genderqueers do?
laughs I have always wondered how to define gay/straight/queer from a gender-queer perspective. I tend to figure the opposite of gender-queer is gender-absent, although I could see an argument that anyone who is gender-stable qualifies as fair game. :)
Gender-stable is the opposite of gender-fluid. Genderqueer is more disputed but seems to be a big umbrella including non-gendered and null-gendered and bigender and in-between people and then some and wow this is complicated. I'd just say the opposite of genderqueer is binary gender - the set {man, woman}.
