to gays no matter a how well intentioned you may be?
I appreciate and respect all the Christians that accept us as regular people worthy of the same freedoms and privileges as everyone else. At the same time, this cliché says something other than what many intend.
Being gay is the essence of me. “Hating the sin and not the sinner” still translates to the reality that I'm hated since being gay is who I am. I am much more than just my sexuality, but to call my essence sin, and to say you hate that sin, is also to say you hate me.
The phrase is like saying, “I like you. I just hate who you are.”
I'm trying to provide a little insight, and also to learn how you would feel if you heard this said to you all the time?
PS – the question is NOT about whether you “approve” of me, because quite frankly, the question is not directed to prejudice people.
