"1. What exactly is indecent about homosexuality, anyway?

I have not said that it is, why do you ask?

"Common principles of decency change. I think you're adhering to common principles of decency from a century or more ago. I'm not sure exactly how many people in the U.S. believe that homosexuality in itself is indecent, and the percentage of people in the U.S. that are OK with gay marriage is creeping towards the 50% mark. So would that make your principles "uncommon?"

You are presumptively mistaken, I was using the term common to mean in common among human beings across time and circumstance. Of course there have practices that were common at some times but at others were considered immoral or evil. Common principles of decency across time are principles like kindness, charitableness, consideration, generosity, honorable conduct etc.
