If you think same-sex sex is wrong, then fine, you can still respect people as people without accepting everything they do.

Not really. I recognize that people have inherent human rights but there is no requirement, religious or otherwise, to respect that which one fines abhorent.

I think we differ on defintions, as one poster suggested above, by respecting people as people, I simply meant that we should treat others with kindness and respect regardless of what we think of their lifestyle.

You are so right. I don't have to respect my neighbor who cheats on his wife, thats no different. He is sinning, and hurting those who love him by that sin. I am perfectly within my rights to disrespect him. And I do. Do I hate him? no, do I want the schools telling kids what he does is ok and they should respect him? NO, homosexual behavior is the same thing.

God did not create homosexuals. He did however create free will. They have abused it.
