Can one be a christian gossiper? Can one be a christian liar, theif, etc.? Those are more prevelant in the church than christian homosexuals.
It easy to jump on the bandwagon of sins we don't have to deal with. Any destructive behavior needs to be dealt with. There are some sins which are acceptable to Christians.
We have people in the pews and in the pulpits who don't take care of their bodies, in direct violation of scripture. Those who gossip and those who can't say no when their bellies are full are going to meet the same fate as the homosexual.
Homosexuality is sin. So is gossip. So is causing division. So is undermining leadership (wpf). So is legalism.
Would Cece Winans have an obligation to preach against gossip if she sings at a church for tale bearers?
Would she have an obligation to preach against gluttony if she sings at a church full people who need a wide angle lens to get into the picture?
It is condesending and insulting to suggest someone preach against a certain sin, but not hold the to the same standards for other blatent sins.

A man can no more be a Christian homosexual than he can be a Christian child molester.
