I think it can be borderline hypocritical. But of course we're not talking about going out and condemning all gays to hell, and then living an immoral personal life. We're talking about not partaking in or accepting one sin just because you fall victim to another. Acknowledging that something else is a sin, as a sinner, doesn't make you a hypocrite in my mind. But, maybe everyone else's definition is different. Is it hypocritical to personally object to drugs simply because you drink?
I think many fraternities have double standards, but whether they engage in hypocrisy, I'm not sure. I don't really think it matters that much, I'm sure I'm hypocritical at times, but that is still no reason to condone something I find morally wrong.
Now, if your entire decision is based on homosexuality, the sin, then yeah you're likely taking a hypocritical stance if you ignore the faults of other people. But like I said, I think this is a non-issue. If your choices are to be hypocritical or condone a sin, does it really matter which choice you make? There is an answer, as I noted earlier, but it certainly isn't to forgo hypocrisy while embracing some other morally repugnant activity.
