Look, I was raised in the Pentecostal church. I went to church more as a kid than most people do in an entire lifetime. I was married to a minister who was also a marriage and family counselor. I do not need to be preached to.

You can emphasize whatever Bible verses you want, argue exegesis all day, and turn things around to suit yourself. it really doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that one day you will have to answer for the way you treat people.

No, you don't want to be preached to. You want to do the preaching, and hopefully impress everyone else with your self-righteous, look-at-how-tolerant-I-am affectation. It drips from you.

This isn't the first time you've defended deviant sexual practices, while misusing the "don't judge" Scripture. I've seen countless liberals try and use that tactic.

Maybe you should go back and read it again, and you'll see that you missed the second part of Jesus's instructions. When you do, you'll see that He is telling us HOW to judge, not to refrain from doing so. We are not to judge when we are engaged in the same behavior we are about to reprimand. If we are, we need to stop, and THEN we are free to do so.

This is consistent with the rest of the Bible, which elsewhere encourages Christians to make righteous judgments. But some of us today are so mealy-mouthed and filled with fear that we might hurt someone's feelings by differentiating between right and wrong.

Besides, I note that you seem to have no problem judging those who speak out against perversion.
