I don’t dislike gays but I’m opposed to homosexuality. Can you accept this? I am a Christian so I don’t support homosexuality per se. But that doesn’t mean I have to hate gays. I have known many nice gay people who make otherwise great model Christians, more so than some people who are opposed to homosexuality but break every other commandment in the book. I had a high school friend who was gay, but I wasn’t going to ruin a friendship by bringing that issue up. It may be an authority figure like a pastor or parent’s job to talk to him, but it certainly wasn’t mine. My point is don’t judge an overall person because they are gay. Aggressively bashing gays isn’t Christian, neither are hate crimes. That along with turning people away from the church because of those actions is the devil’s work. And it’s also not fair to label a person who is only defending God’s word as homophobic, because that’s bigoted too. People who are truly liberal would understand this. Another thing, homosexuality is a very gray area. There’s choice homosexuality where they flat out sin and then there’s the people who have a genetic disposition to it, so they may have a harder time not having romantic feelings for men. I am not sure what the right thing for those people to do is, but not being one of those people or being an expert on that type of situation I don’t think I judge.
