Drinking, smoking, and heterosexual relations outside of marriage are an option.  The gay friends I know have an attraction to men only.  They say they were born that way.  I don't have a gay-truth-meter to determine if they are telling the truth.  I can only take them at their word.

The LDS church should lose its 501(c)(3) status because of the door to door volunteer action and the $20 million it contributed to support and influence prop 8.

Here is my message to the LDS church and anyone who donates or contributes time to it.  I want you out of my neighborhood and my state.  As far as I am concerned you have the same "right to exist" as you afford to the LGBT community which is nothing.  If you are an LDS donor and I have a chance to legally rip you off in a business transaction I will.  It was a huge mistake for Salt Lake City to have been given the Olympics.  After prop 8 I have a 0 travel policy to Salt Lake City.  At work if I find out someone I supervise is an active Mormom I will find some work related issue to fire them over because I don't find their code of conduct acceptable.

Just to clarify, BYU won't expel or probate someone for being attracted to members of the same sex, they will expel someone for engaging in extra-marital sexual activity.  So conceivably a gay or lesbian person could work for or attend BYU without consequence so long as they lived by BYU's "honor code". I'm not necessarily saying that I agree with that position, but it is what it is.

 As for your boycotting of Utah, I'll let the Salt Lake City Weekly's Ryan Bradford speak for me in that regard:
