To answer one of Avatar's original questions - the Bible calls homosexuality an abomination (King James Version). God created Eve to be a companion to Adam. It was His will that a man "cleave" to a woman, and vice versa.
The term "abomination" is some of the strongest language used in the Bible when talking about a specific sin. It doesn't leave any grey area in God's eyes.
Unfortunately, the use of such strong language has led many Christians to interpret the Bible as meaning that it is OK to persecute homosexuals, which it is NOT. God considers homosexuality to be a sin - but is no greater or lesser than any other sin mentioned in the Bible.
Can a homosexual go to Heaven when they die? Absolutely...if they accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Their final reward will be no different than that of any other Christian.
As for the question of whether or not society should do more to accept homosexuality....I personally don't think so. I firmly believe that we should "live and let live" (as others have stated), but I also agree with Magik's assertion that there should be "no special rights or protections for or against" homosexuals.
