Good point. If a heterosexual parade mimicked the manner of displays and behavior of sodomite parades then it would be censured even by the left.
I have friends who are homosexuals. They are decent people otherwise. I dont hate them. I think what they are doing is wrong, but in the end God will judge them like hell judge me.
There are different kinds of sins. There are those which pertain to things which are a result of desires of the flesh, such as drinking, smoking, overeating, fornication, etc., and there are those of the heart such as idolatry, blasphemy, heart, dishonesty, slander, maliciousness, covetousness, premeditated violence, etc.
You can have a man which has a degree of weakness for drinking (like Grant and Churchill) or the like, and who may commit sins of passion (as David), yet who overall have integrity, trustworthy character, sacrificial commitment and loyalty, and may excel in certain abilities.
Then you have a man who may have not the former kind of sins, but they are conniving, deceitful, and or backbiting, selfish, envious souls who dishonestly insidiously work to destroy others and what is right in God's eyes.
Such are what much characterizes the liberalism you see in the MSM and such as sites as salon.com. And such homosexual activists who follow (consciously or not) the marketing strateg y of Harvard-trained (homosexual) psychologists [47] Marshall Kirk (1957 - 2005) and Hunter Madsen in After the Ball.
And which victimization scheme and homophobic intimidation tactics i think are quite common among active homosexuals, esp. males. And as they are also usually driven by lust and are quite promiscuous, despite the well established typical deleterious effects of this, and must engage in a greater degree of suppression of conscience, then i think this usually is concomitant with the latter manner of sins.
However, there are exceptions, for those there is more hope of conversion to the Lord Jesus.
Thanks for the note of agreement, and I agree with your thoughts also. You make a reasoned point about types of sins. Each man is sinful, but there are different types of sins, and they do reveal certain mindsets as you touch on.
Sodomy is one of them.
