I just read a responsa on whether an individual can be a practising homosexual and a Torah observant Jew, here:

Although I’m not Jewish, I find the reasoning in the Responsa fascinating. I would appreciate any commentary or perspective you can provide on this difficult subject. Many thanks.

What you read is not a responsa. It is a symposium of some apparently Conservative-ordain clergy (I could be mistaken; they might be Reform) discussing the homosexual issue. Inasmuch as neither Conservative nor Reform observe halachah, this is an exercise in rhetoric and the conclusion is pre-determined.
