The Church of Reality takes the position that same-sex relationships is a personal choice. We take no moral position on same-sex relationships. From the standpoint of reproduction one could conclude that homosexuality is at worse a birth defect. But people with all kinds of birth defects have relationships and it's not up to the church to interfere with individual choice. People who are born with preferences for same-sex relationships or just choose to do so it something that consenting adults can choose to do.
The Church of Reality does recognize that there is a lot of science to support that sexual preferences are strongly influenced by their biology. We have the technology to turn men into women, women into men, and everything in between. Humans are far more chemically driven than we would like to admit. We encourage people to be ethical, honest, and understanding in relationships and we encourage heterosexuals to avoid being bigoted and hateful towards gay people.
On the other hand, homosexuality is not normal. It's not severely abnormal either and certainly is not sin or an abomination to God. The Church of Reality opposes the extremist war between religious hatred and gays who want to alter reality to promote an agenda that homosexual relationships are equivalent to heterosexual relationships. We are one planet, we are all here together, and we are going to figure out how to get along with each other. The Church of Reality supports sexual research to better understand the science, biology, and reality behind same-sex relationships and as realist we are commited to reality the way it really is.
