Round 1
Homophobia is unjustified. If you think its bad because you're Christian, you have no right to judge others. In Corinthians 1, the whole point of it is to show that you shall not judge outsiders of the church, and that's Gods duty. Inside the church, you're allowed to judge them. But in Matthew 7:2, it says "For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged" Basically, if you judge someone, you'll be judged as well. Therefore, its not your place to judge someone. Quoting "Man shall not lie with mankind as he lies with woman" is invalid too, as that's in Leviticus (20:13), and Leviticus is the Old Testament, which is no longer the "valid" version of Gods word. If you're Muslim, then you also have no right to judge, as everything is between that person and Allah, and you do not have the right to come between that. If you just think gay couples are icky, and have no real reason behind why you don't like gay people, then congratulations! You're childish.

Hello,
I kindly wanted to comment especially since you mentioned Muslims.
As a Muslim I know that Islam is against homosexuality. If something is haram (forbidden) in the religion then I am not going to support it. I don’t support drinking alcohol, smoking or sex outside of marriage. I am against homosexuality as it is a sin. It's part of my religion to enjoin the good and forbid the evil. Of course if it leads to a greater evil then no. This phrase ‘don’t judge’ seems read as ‘accept the sin’ but as a Muslim i am supposed to hate an evil in my heart even if i cannot do anything else about it. This does not mean i am not going to be respectful to a homosexual person but what i am not going to do is tell them that what they are doing is okay.
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Whoever of you sees something evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able, then with his tongue; and if he is not able, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith."
