I understand your post wasn't directed to me, personally. However, as your post was directed to all of those who are against homosexuality, or those with the agenda of pro-homosexuality, it was, generally.

Christ taught to love the sinner, not the sin. I don't have to accept their sin to love them. Nor will I allow them to mold my child into accept their sin as acceptable, either.

I know most every parent who has discussed these kinds of issues express the same sentiments. I have never heard that they hate homosexuals. I have heard people say they hate them for what they are doing to our society and our children: forcing us to accept what they do as normal and/or acceptable. Their lifestyle is UNACCEPTABLE.

Just as I find promiscuity unacceptable, murder unacceptable, the KKK unacceptable, terrorism unacceptable, and abortion unacceptable.

It does not follow, however, that because I am opposed to immoral behavior being taught as acceptable that I would encourage my children or others to behave immorally (bigotry, rascism, killing) toward others.

I applaud you.

The proper course to take is to abhor the sin and love the sinner. It is the way I was taught and the way I've taught.

Sadly, there are those who would rather crush the vessel instead of replacing the wine.
