Well, people are sinners unless and until saved and gone to heaven. I think we don’t need people to say certain sins get the honor of being a badge they wear, though. How would it look to talk about “thieving players”? Lets get some sense here. If someone says to you “I’m ‘gay’” I think your answer should be “I do not look upon you as ‘gay.’ I look upon you as a human being, as Joe [or Mary or whoever]. I will proceed on this basis.”
Kind of like "single mother"
