What people get upset about is a cultural variable that is not consistent across times and places. Plenty of times and places, people have gotten at least as upset about adultery as about homosexuality.
Other times and places, not so much.

You can say "I am a homosexual", and identify as such. You cannot say "my sexual preference is adultery".
Perhaps it's because it's not really a religious issue (just using that as an excuse).
Biologically people are repelled by homosexuality and attracted to adultery. That affects their state of mind, and they look for a reason for that and catch upon religious arguments.
