Well, in Kerotan's formulation of a theoretical Kant argument against homosexuality, I suspect that "homosexuality" is considered to be exclusive homosexuality. As in, "if it is good for this one person to never reproduce, then it must be good for nobody to reproduce. It is obviously not good for nobody to reproduce, therefore it must not be good for this one person not to reproduce. QED"

The biggest problem with the argument is that it boils down to "variation is evil". A moral system based on that is essentially the caricature of communism in right-wing nightmares.
