Keep in mind they’re sophists so it has to be a well-structured logical argument. I don’t know why I keep arguing with these kinds of people. Disclaimer: I’m pro-LGBT.

Gather up the people making that ridiculous argument, put them in a shipping container and drop them in the oceanReject the premise that disease and morality are in some way causally related. Once they make a claim close enough to reality to tell you what they’re really wrong about, start there.
Spreading disease can be immoral, but when it comes to sex, that should be two properly-educated and consenting adults doing something that won’t affect anyone beyond the two of them.
We can reassess the situation when diseases transmitted by gay sex are overwhelming hospitals.
While I wouldn’t oppose putting the people in a shipping container and dropping them in the ocean, recklessly spreading disease or engaging in behaviour more likely to spread disease can absolutely be amoral. For instance, people who refuse to get vaccines (but otherwise could). People who refused to mask during the height of the pandemic. etc.
These are the same people who would condemn gays.
You’re on point. These homophobes are also anti-vaxxers and anti-vegans and misogynists. Ultra conservative.
This. If disease and morality were linked, they’d reject animal husbandry as a concept, and definitely not mind wearing a mask.
