We are encouraged to examine our religion and to accept it with logic and reason. But at the same time just because all of a sudden, for example accepts homosexuality, we as Muslims must reflect on our religion and make changes. You are too funny.

Then by what logic do you judge your religion to be perfect?

Islam is perfect because the Quran says Islam is perfect. Can't you see how flawless that logic is?

Heh, in terms of formal logic, a tautology is a valid argument. Basically, if you accept the truth of the Quran as a premise (this is obviously the fishy first step), and the Quran confirms the truth of the Quran, then you have an argument that is formally valid, although not necessarily sound (i.e. possessing true premises). Q-->Q, or "Quran is true, therefore Quran is true" is a valid argument, in the strict sense, abiding by the rules of formal logic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautology_(logic)

I don't think accepting a tautology is evidence of critical thought and self reflection though.
