Yeah I completely agree with that.

Now unless there's a specific ban on gay people from leading the prayers, I don't see the reason why we ourselves should create a ban.
I'm ready to change my mind if I come across the right evidence.

Of course a robber or homosexual can still be a Muslim and who are we to judge? A robber might be a thousand times better Muslim than me. May be he is treating his sick mother with that money. But do you think it's necessary to establish a mosque for robbers/ homosexuals?? Then we will have to establish a mosque for pedophiles too?? It's like sending a wrong message to the Muslim community. Everyone is welcome to any regular mosque..Aren't they? There is no check point there right. But we can't just encourage certain things which are clearly considered as sin in Islam.
