For the last time:
(1) God Himself hates homosexuality. You don't accept this because you are (by your own admission) not a Christian and do not accept the Bible, however you are well aware that there are passages in Bible unequivocally rejecting homosexuality, and that these commandments (unlike, say, the rules of kosher and circumcision), were NEVER repealed.
(2) Hatred of a destructive addiction does NOT equal hatred of the addict. Does AA hate alcoholics? Indeed, if we hated homosexuals we'd shut up, and let them go to hell unchallenged.
(3) Resisting a socially destructive agenda does not necessarily equal hating the other side, although admittedly it can generate a lot of anger sometimes. Especially when it's a proven civilization-destroyer such as homosexuality, which historically has brought down every nation that was ever stupid enough to tolerate it.
There. I've made it as simple as possible. If you don't get it now, it's because you refuse to.
Umm, don't look now but the two GREATEST commandments are about love and the 10 lesser commandments do not mention homosexuality. They do mention adultery. It looks to me that according to the Bible homosexuality is not all that serious. Even bearing false witness is higher than homosexuality among the *don'ts* in your belief system. Why don't you have a movement to make adultery against the law?

Earlier you said this:
But homosexuality is guilty of all this and much, much more. This is why homosexuality, at this particular point in history, receives (and DESERVES) much more intense hostility.
I was going to praise you for your honestly – but now you seem to be backing down(g)

Well, it's a free country - you are entitled to you opinion. But it is not a correct opinion(g). And I'm sure you realize that the proposed Constitutional Amendment is going to die in the Senate. This is going no where fast.
And no, I still don't see the need for hatred, hostility, anger etc
