To support gay relationships, of any kind, is to undermine our country and worse, to openly rebel against the God of the Bible.

John Chapter 13

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

I can love the sinner and never support gay relationships... My non-support doesn’t preclude loving the sinner.

If I love my neighbor I'm not going to overlook his heroin addiction, I'm going to try to get him help. He may construe that as unloving.

I love my children, I'm not going to pretend that 2 dudes buggering each other is normal. I'm going to call it what it is so that they or others don't get the idea that it is good.

Where did we ever get the idea that love means agreeing with mentally ill people about their delusions about reality?

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Confusing erotic love with sacrificial love.

The Church in the first century existed in a time when homosexuality was widely practiced. If homosexuality was not a sin the Church would have been more widely accepted, and I suppose, fewer martyrdoms would have occured.
