    Her entire argument is an appeal to morality. “Gay is bad because it’s immoral.” So when she is then engaging in this ‘immoral’ activity it is relevant: “Even you don’t believe it’s actually immoral, which is your entire argument.”

      That’s a fallacy. If I say it’s bad to kill people, then I kill someone, was I wrong when I said it’s bad?

      What someone does is separate from the validity of what they say.

        If you say it’s bad to kill people, then kill someone, I’m not going to put you in charge of a group with the express purpose of preventing people getting killed. If you found such a group I am going to question their ethics.
