I still don't condone his lifestyle. Then again, I don't condone the lifestyle of the folks I work with who are living together unmarried, or go out and get drunk every weekend, or cheat on their taxes. But it's not because I'm afraid of gay people or how they live or because I hate them. I'd rather have my former boss for a neighbor than a lot of straight people I know. My opposition to homosexual behavior is simply matter of belief that the Scripture teaches against it and that God has a reason why he called it sin. I accept that on faith.

So all that to say that when I come to these discussions, I don't come to them with a torch and a pitchfork. Mostly because Bob tells me they look horrible on me.

I agree with Darrell on this one. We have made homosexuality a bigger issue than all the other sins out there, and that just doesn't. make. sense. We're pushing away people who should be shown Jesus' love, because He loves those in the LGBTQ community just as much as He loves the rest of us sinners.
