Have you ever seen Roman latrines? It was just a bench. No stalls. Everyone shared a sponge on a stick.
What I meant with moral degeneration was said in the scripture (2 Tim. 3:1-9) I gave. By what I see, only now the situation is beginning to look like in the scripture.
I don't think the homosexual act is morally ok. But, I think bigger problem with the act is that it is not reasonable, it is basically the same as trying to eat through your ear, because it is also a hole in your head. I think people should be reasonable and not do stupid things.

The problem with the analogy you provided is that ears, despite the eustachian tubes, don't really lead to the stomach or have any taste buds. You could shove food in them, but there'd be no reason.
But there is a reason for homosexuals to be in relationships, sexual or otherwise. Human connection is very important for most people, and as long as morally practiced (consensual and non-abusive) I think it is immoral to disallow a combination that brings joy, fulfillment, and meaning to a life full enough of obstacles and hardships.
So moral degeneration = divergence from the mores and lifestyle of an ancient Hebrew community?
Morality reflects harm, not convention.I don't think the homosexual act is morally ok.

"Reason?" Why is a social bonding activity unreasonable?
You're equating homosexuality with specific sexual acts. Homosexuality is neurology, not activities.
More like divergence from what God has said is good and right.
In Biblical point of view only the specific action is a problem, not human connection.
Even if it is harmful thing that brings joy?

Pronouns: he/him/they/them
Not entirely true. Abrahamic ones maybe but not all. My mom is part Native American and back before colonization there were third gender groups. Her father was specifically Lakota Sioux. In that particular culture there were the Winkte. They aren't honored as much like they used to be but in pre colonial times they were religious and spiritual leaders. Male bodied but would adopt feminine clothing and mannerisms. If I recalled correctly they slept with men. More on that here(she sent me this link when i asked about it written by someone else) :
Lakota two-spirit in Native American culture and gender identity
Technially they ain't homosexual cuz that don't show how the natives viewed it but many folk might think of them as such.
I can ask my mom more about two spirit folk and their religious roles in her culture and in other Native tribes if you want. She knows quite a bit.

What is that specific action?
Donuts often bring me joy, but they are harmful. ;-)
And how is that thing harmful?
