This topic was addressed in the episode "The Outcast" of The Next Generation.
The offender was "cured" with psychiatric treatment.
The episode was somewhat ambiguous, and leaves it up to the viewer to decide if it was a condemnation of, um, perversion; or if society is being too harsh on its fringer members.

There is no such statement--but from the way the Enterprise crew responds to certain races they encounter who are homophobic, it can be construed that homophobia is looked down upon in the 24th century, at least by all enlightened members of the Federation.
It's a matter of record that the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, publicly supported the idea of having gay characters on the show.
"It's the 24th century. By that time nobody gives a sh*t! It's an issue of the 20th century and maybe the 19th century, but it has nothing to do with the 24th century. By that time it's your choice of whoever you want." ~ Gene Roddenberry, as paraphrased by writer/producer Herbert Wright.
The anniversary of Roddenberry's birth is this coming Sunday, by the way.

In Star Trek, Gene wanted the society in the hsow to have moved on from Religion, Racism and hate towards Homosexuals and that and everyone is accepting.

that one scene where Kirk and Spock are having sex and Spock says that because chicks like Sharon Stone exists their relationship isn't logical -I think the movie was Wrath of Khan

Under Star Trek rules, it is fine for women to be homosexual provided it is with T'Pol, Seven of Nine, or one of the really hot green chicks. Male homosexuality is frowned upon because it is really gross.

Don't tell me you couldn't sense the homo-erotic tension between Spock and Kirk?!?
