I suspect this is what the Duck Dynasty guy would fear. The idea that being gay is entirely about a specific sexual act. That being gay means simply preferring one kind of sex to another. Its reductive, to make the issue entirely about a distinction rather than a preference in relationships.
I doubt anyone who is gay sees it that narrowly. No adult (straight or gay) who is serious about choosing a partner bases the choice on sexual compatibility alone.

I already said I'm not reducing them to their sexuality, but it is exactly what makes them homosexual. Denying them their sexuality is denying them who they are and is making this issue about something it isn't, or not making this issue about what it is, if you prefer. The emotional aspects are not unique to queers. Men love many men during their lives: fathers, brothers, friends, teammates, fellow soldiers... It is the sexual aspect that defines homosexuality, and last time I checked, that's what we're discussing here. If you, or they, feel that is salacious, then that's not my issue, and is all the more reason that sports, among many other things, is not the arena in which to discuss sexuality publicly.

Few people come home to talk to Mom about what sex acts they are performing with their significant other. Maybe around the Basket dinner table things are different, but I strongly suspect that is not the norm.
Heterosexuals generally don't need to come home and define the differences between their girlfriend and sister or mother by number, frequency and type of sex act performed together. Most everyone understands this, few people need it spelled out for them. People also understand the difference between family, comrades in arms and your significant other.
Choosing to focus entirely on the sexual acts is your choice and not a celebration of differences.

This isn't a talking point you can try using to falsely pigeonhole my position while avoiding the multitude of logical holes in your own. It is the definition of the word at the crux of this discussion. I'm not sure how you purport a position on acceptance of homosexuals in the NFL while simultaneously denying homosexuals their defining trait... because the act of gay sex is "salacious?"
You can't, with any kind of intellectual honesty, pick and choose which parts of the homo you're going to accept, tolerate, or have a discussion with (Unless you're another homo and looking for a quick fling ) while denying the singular trait that defines them as homosexual. You also can't conflate what defines them as a homosexual with what defines them as a person to refute someone else's position and still expect to be taken seriously in a discussion about homosexuality.
