    “Morally acceptable” and “not a moral issue” combine into the greater “not morally wrong” category. Personally I’d put it in “not moral issue,” but I don’t assume any I’ll will on the part of people saying it’s “acceptable”

      It doesn’t look like there was an option for “morally good”, so I’d have picked morally acceptable. “Not a moral issue” is for when I’ve never though about it in terms of morals, which automatically excludes any big life decision or matter of personal conviction.

        I mean it’s like if you prefer apples or oranges, there’s no ethical principle at stake, you’re allowed to like either one or both. It’s simply not a moral question.

          Oh, I don’t see it as apples or oranges, but more like eating or not eating. Stopping people from eating is morally bad and vice-versa, giving people food is morally good. Apply that to gay sex directly without thinking about the implications of the analogy too hard. Ergo, homosexuality is morally good (but so is hetero-, bi- and even asexuality (the analogy breaks down too much)).
