I think they’d make a card for fascist dictators if they thought there was a market for it (Congratulations! You’ve just committed your FIRST genocidal act!)

Banning these cards is not going to stop homosexuals “marrying”. Being convinced of the sinfulness of their lifestyle and allowing their lives to be changed right around is going to stop that. So, if you think homosexual “marriage” is wrong, what do you think you should be doing?

Let me put it like this: If someone insists on saying and doing something that you are sure is wrong, you basically have two choices. You can either out-argue them, or you can shut them up. I know its very tempting to simply “shut them up”. You are very convinced they are in the wrong and are doing harm not only to themselves but to all that you hold dear (as indeed they are). Besides “shutting them up” is SO very much easier to do. And of course, the opposition tries to shut US up all the time.

Lovingly bringing those, who after all are made in Gods image, to a personal knowledge of their sinfulness and their need to rethink their entire lives, in the teeth of what can be vicious opposition, is a hard, thankless task that can take years. Decades even. But IMHO that is what God calls us to do.

You put out fires with water, not fires of your own.

I agree with all of that but I refuse to enrich those who seek to promote, accept or condone homosexuality in any way shape or form.

It is a disease. it is a deformity. It is like praising people with cleft pallets,club feet or schizophrenia. You do not hate them, you do not punish them.
But you do not pretend they are the same as everyone else either.
