I remember the 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s, and I don’t remember any Baptists, Catholics or Mormons - the 3 religions I have the most experience with - ever doing anything mean to homosexuals, other than saying it is A sin that needs repentance, as do sins like adultery, lying, hate and pride.

The idea that we were “out to get them” is simply a lie. I lived those times. I know better. Unhappily, the average teen was born around the late 90s, and they do not understand the lie they are being peddled.

I’ve got to remember the line Michael Medved uses, “gays have a higher median income than straights”. That points to NO discrimination.

None of the major religions in the country are moving against Tea Party members either... Which doesn't mean there isn't prejudice on the part of government workers against us... or corporate prejudice that allows a CEO to be fired for believing in traditional marriage.

Yes, gay sex is a sin. So is being unfaithful... or coveting your neighbor's wife or not respecting your parents. My concern isn't the same as the theologian. My concern is this particular sin is being turned into an effective political movement - one that is starting to appear to be rather totalitarian.
