Two ideas in particular jumped out at me in this article:
Christians who wink at or approve of same-sex acts, or refuse to call men and women living with same-sex attraction to live the gospel more deeply and truly, need to repent for their unfaithfulness. Loving someone does not mean we love and accept his sins. The easy claim that love justifies all, for example in a same-sex relationship, cannot be countenanced.
Followed by this one:
Christians need to keep in mind that our struggle is not as much with the people espousing the bad ideas of the gay rights movement as with the ideas themselves.
This last one is particularly easy to forget when dealing with defenders of the radical homosexual agenda.

I thought you might appreciate a ping as well. I know that you've gotten into 'discussions' with those who declare homosexuality sinful but then seem to turn toward hatred of the individual instead of hatred of the sin.
Perhaps you could point them to this link as needed?

Agreed, the so-called Christian defenders of perversion need to ask themselves how is turning a blind eye to base behavior somehow compassionate? Standing mute while watching someone lose their soul is simply being an enabler. Reparation is real and true because its not who you are, its what you do.

Oops, great minds think alike. I should have read your reply before I wrote mine. Interesting though, we both gravitated to the same quote.
