“Sorry, but respect is earned, not automatically granted to every pervert walking the earth.”
His point that individuals should be treated with dignity is spot on. Respect is earned, but God created humans in His image. Fallen though they may be, He sent His Son to redeem them and pay the hideous penalty of death to make salvation available.
I thank God I never struggled with same sex attraction. They are worth redeeming. I will not treat their behavioral choices as normal, but I hope for their salvation.
