Rather than explaining it in terms of the vacuum spreading, which some people might have difficulty differentiating from stretching, explain it in terms of the boundary getting bigger.
While this may be true in the States, where 100 years ago there was a lot more conviction behind adherence to religiously derived "moralities" than there is now, most of Europe and Asia has been failing to raise eyebrows for a long, long time. Apart from the higher-ups in Victorian society, who found it fashionable to villify homosexuality as a practice because it made the sport known as "opponent crushing" that much more fun.
If he's downloading dodgy software also get Ad-Aware 6 from http://www.lavasoft.de, and get hold of "Spybot - Search and Destroy".
The free version of Sophos is a 4 month trial but it's well worth the hassle of installing the latest version 3 times a year as it's a market leader.

First you need to nail down a meaning for the term "wrong", which is rather difficult to do in a faith- and culture-independent fashion.
Then you'll have to decide exactly what it is you are going to evaluate against this term.
Exactly how you 'rate' in terms of 'wrongness' is going to depend very much on your understanding of what it is you are evaluating.
I'll leave you with those thoughts, as I am off to bed. 'Night all.
Stealing is wrong because it affects individuals or groups in quantifiably negative ways, without their consent or willing participation.
Using illegal drugs is not 'wrong' per se.
You aren't going to make any aspect of homosexuality wrong by saying "it's a bit like X".
Don't you see that as soon as you start imposing constraints like "you can't do that in my world because I say it's immoral based on these arbitrary rules here", then your freedom is coming at a highly significant cost to others?
"Accepted". To except is to excuse or exclude, as in exception.
Sorry that one just really bugs me
As far as I can see you have yet to qualify the statements "it's wrong" and "it's immoral". In fact I am not even sure what the "it" part is. Is it being gay? Is it daring to have an actual relationship? Is it the act of sex?
I have to say, I think things like "you can't have any rights because you're gay" are nothing more than a state-sanctioned, church-ratified version of the playground's standard rebuff; "you can't be in our gang because [insert ridiculous child reasoning X here]."
I really doubt that you have, and I couldn't care less what half-cocked opinion a walking crap sprinkler has managed to scrape together based upon the (at best) poor evidence that is my SFN persona.
