Gays are people regardless of whether you approve of their behavior.
Their behavior does not automatically deserve our approval, nor do they have any right to demand it. But they are living human beings. Many of them in my experience are very nice and kind human beings. What they are compelled to do with their bodies is certainly not on a par with, say, what Stalin did to his political enemies or what Michael Vick did to dogs. Sorry, but I’m not very good at hatred. As for “religious doctrine”, I remember something about “hating the sin and loving the sinner”. Don’t recall who said that, though. Must have been a hell of a man.

No one is suggesting they should be deprived of their rights. The poster was saying he didn't believe in schools indoctrinating children with illiberal notions of sexuality. As is his right.

Raise your own kids the way you want. Let others do the same.

The remark was in reference to your telling OPie to crawl back into his dark hole over his opinion on evolution.

Your answer is actually the typical liberal response, trying to tie into some vague notion of Christianity that you hold which is largely mythical. It's not particularly persuasive unless you're in the company of liberals who naturally already hold exactly those same opinions and have no regard for freedom of religion or freedom of speech. They are, after all, true enemies of the First.

Poofs are people, a given, but should we let them drive our social agenda?. I am not good at Religious Hatred either but does "Loving the Sinner", save him?
