Here is the difference that I see. Alcoholism is destructive, not only in the eyes of God (if that is what you believe) but in the physical well-being of someone who drinks. By getting someone to stop drinking, you are doing a service to them and possibly saving their life.
Trying to pressure someone to stop being gay is destructive. Being gay isn't. And for those that say that God says it is, I would ask that they stop assuming that they have the right to speak for, and judge on the behalf of God.
edited to add: I posted before I saw your most recent post, GD. Still, I think this may somewhat serve as a response to your later post.
