It is not criminal, it is not abusive (in fact usually quite the opposite)
Of course there are promiscuous gays, as there are promiscuous heterosexuals, and there are also those who want to form committed relationships with or without the backing of society and legal protections, but my word it must be a help to have your relationship at least recognised by law.

I do not believe that it is a moral issue. The Christian right wing would have you believe it is in order to scare everyone into acting how they want you to act. It is a personal issue, not a moral one.

It is for some people, sadly. Those are usually people who believe that homosexuality is a sin. Personally, I think those are also people who can't seem to mind their own business.
If it's a consenting gay relationship between two adults, that's their business, and no one else's opinion really matters. So, you're right. It is not a moral issue at all for those people who are involved and for those who mind their own.
Edit:
Moral: "Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary."
OK, let me correct myself since the definition of moral is coming into question. Homosexuality **is** a moral issue for some. Additionally, it **is not** a moral issue for others.
Here's what I don't understand: if it doesn't affect you, as in you (not you personally, asker) aren't gay and won't be making any decisions to participate in a gay relationship, why does anyone care if you think consenting gay adult relationships are immoral or not? That was my original point, and I apologize if it was too far from the original question.

It seems to me that everything has a moral issue to it! There are people who believe that because they "believe in God" that they have the moral right to decide how all of us should live. What ever happened to "treat others as you would like to be treated"? If some of the people that impose their life style on others, walked in the others shoes for a few days , they might see how damaging it can be

Why should it be? Who is it harming?
The definition of moral is: "of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical:" per dictionary.com.
People are born gay, thus how can being gay be "wrong" when they have no control over it? And even if they did, whose business is it? As you said...consenting. Consenting adults should be free to do whatever they desire, as long as it is not harming anyone.
The real problem is, some people thinking they have a right to stick their nose into other people's private business and bedrooms.

Not for me. I don't think it should be for anyone. The people who use religion as an excuse are forgetting the commandment of "Love they neighbor as thyself," and the idea of "Judge not lest ye be judged." If they are consenting adults, then it's no one's business. I have yet to have a gay person try to convert me or convince me that their lifestyle is better than mine. I have yet to know of a homosexual who is very careful as to who they flirt with. They live in fear because of people thinking they're immoral, and that's just sad.

It is a moral issue as well as a personal issue. Many people feel very convicted by their opinions on it, either way they choose to believe.

It depends who you ask. If you feel that straight relationships are a moral issue, than you probably also feel that gay relationships are as well.
In truth, neither are but both are. It is a question that is ask with conscience so it is. It isnt a choice, so it isnt.

In your question you say " Consenting Adults". That alone attributes it to a moral issue.

Of course it isn't. Only ignorant bigots still believe that homosexuality is both a choice and thus morally wrong. Rather sad, isn't it, to believe such things.

I take it you do not understand the concept of "moral issue".
You might want to look it up before posting.
