I have heard it argued by some religous leaders that to truly be human you must fit into the "mold" of a heterosexual couple relationship with the possibility of procreation. In addition the leaders believe to not do this is missing out on a critical part of maturity and development. They say that homosexual acts are a sin even though the responsibility for the sin declines b/c the test of avoiding the sin is so great. At the same time these religous leaders are saying gays and lesbians should be full members of their religous communities......even though in my opinion the churches do nothing for them other then offer total shame.
