You are overlooking the critical distinction between homosexuality (which is rightly condemned) and homosexual persons. I'm not aware that the pastor called for a persecution of any people.
My point was merely that I wasn't certain, from the story as given, that the pastor was not making an implied call for persecution. But I am inclined to agree with you that he was condemning homosexuality itself and not homosexual persons. Of course, the Swedish law, and the one up in Canada, are ominous for us in the US. If evil cannot be condemned, we are in grave danger.
