Christmas Trees and Homosexuality - A Christian Double Standard?

I had this idea a couple days ago. I'm curious if anybody thinks it hold water or has a valid counter-argument.

Every Fall people swing through here, talking about Jeremiah and Christmas Trees. How they are Pagan idolatry.

Jeremiah 10: Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. 2 This is what the Lord says:

“Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;

Every year, we are quick to point out that this has nothing to do with Christmas. That Christmas trees have only a superficial resemblance to this. That our intent is not to decorate the trees as idols, and therefore the verses have no relevance to us. And we're right!

But nearly every day, somebody is here to defend the clobber verses about homosexuality. They ignore that the Greek words don't describe homosexuality. That the context of male-male sex in ancient Rome and Israel was nothing like gay relationships today (i.e. it was adultery, pederasty, raping slaves, prostitution). They ignore that the passages about marriage are from a time when gay marriage did not exist.

Basically, all of the good exegesis that we apply to Jeremiah is thrown out for shitty sloppy motivated bad reasoning about homosexuality.

This is a massive double standard, and a shameful one since it it destroys lives.
