Of course, there's a huge difference between orientation and behaviour. One can't help how one's born, but one can help how one behaves.

There's no good reason for an employer to require me to be celibate and single for life.
There are certainly contexts where this is a valuable sentiment, but separating sexual orientation from sexual behavior at such a gross level (ie, all not engaging in same-sex behavior at all) is simply crude and unnecessary. To each their own, but your statement seems to imply that gays should struggle against what is ultimately a harmless and very human attraction.
