Consent is the primary guideline and it should always be. But you can't have it being an end-all-be-all thing. If a chick and I consented to cut off each others arms while fucking, we couldn't do that lawfully because of harmful intent. The fucking, sure. Sliced off limbs, nada. Two gays consenting to sex is lawful because there is no harmful intent. Both people (or multiple people if you are into that sorta thing) can consent to have sex, and since there is no harmful intent there is no logical reason to deny them. At this point you can only really fall back onto a crutch of religious morality since there is no logical reason to prevent two consenting adults, regardless of sexual orientation, from having sex.
