Having dipped a toe in the water of this debate, all I can say is that no argument has any great utility except in rare cases, because for the most part, Christians who are convinced of the evil of homosexuality - and, for the most part, any kind of sexuality activity not involving one man, one woman, and wedding vows already accomplished - will not examine the evidence suggesting that Jesus made no objection to it. The infallible word of God, interpreted to mean what they already think it means, cannot be contradicted. Never mind about 'pornea' or 'akatharsia' or anything else. For the most part, the people who don't already get this are people who aren't susceptible to the kind of argument necessary to make the point.
I think this is one which will change when religious leaders get their collective thumbs out of various holy orifices, and make som plain, simple, endorsements. Until then, it's uphill all the way, with someone hanging on your shoulders telling you uphill is inherently and ineffably bad and why would you want to go there?
