Re: "If we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder? Can we have it against other things?"

Yes, you can not have moral feelings against homosexuality and at the same time have them against murder and other things.

Most people determine morality with the question "Is anyone hurt by this?" No one is hurt in a consenting adult romantic relationship. Obviously people are hurt by murder.
