No, I believe you have made your position, I just don't agree with it.  
To somehow concoct this pseudo hierarchy whereas the celibate are 
glorified above others is just plan silly and not Biblical.  And to 
somehow include the SIN of homosexuality in this list of "higher 
callings" is just blatantly wrong.  Makes me wonder if adulterers and 
child molesters were also included had you continued with you list? You 
have twisted beyond reason almost every single Scripture quoted to you 
in a vain attempt to justify your own position.  Makes me wonder if your 
motives are not to falsely glorify celibate homosexuals for some 
unexplained reason? So I do believe we understand each other very well, 
and with that said I believe further conversation along these lines 
would be pointless.
