Maybe Cliff and nik should look up what happened when homosexuality was, in fact, unacceptable to society. It wasn't even that long ago relatively speaking.

Go ahead and get back to me on how vanilla and harmless it was. I'll wait.

The point here is not about some bizarre utopian society (who is mentioning that??), it's that there are things that are important and worth criticising Islam for, but call me unimpressed when you trot out a stat showing a high percentage of them in Britain think homosexuality should be illegal. This is the same place where it was criminal for two men to get together only 50 years ago (30 if you look at Scotland and Ireland). The same place where you had to be over 21 to be gay (while heterosexual age of consent was 16) up until 94, and the two didn't match until 2001. This is long after society started to accept homosexuality, so to question the severity of the whole of society thinking it's unacceptable again? Go ahead.

I just don't find it all that different than "they should be jailed," because that is historically what has happened when even a high percentage of society finds it unacceptable, not to mention society as a whole. So yeah, it's not dumb, it's semantics.
