If the Old Testament was the only place one found that said homosexuality was wrong, then you could have had a mildly good argument, considering the law. But, we are no longer under the law, not to say we shouldn't strive to do what is right. But since homosexuality is also found in the New Tesament to be a sin against God and that no one who practices it will get into heaven, that blows your whole argument out of the water. Try 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10, where it says that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. Also 1 Timothy 1:8-11.

Citizen: Yes, hate is a very bad thing, and will destroy the person who lets hate into their life. And yes, there are those who will use their beliefs as an excuse to hate others for not living their (referring to others) lives the way they (referring to those) believe it should be. Having said this, I want you, Citizen, to know, that although I do not advocate the hate or judgment (judgment is God’s job, not mine) that is occurring and sometimes exploding into violence, I cannot support a movement or lifestyle that so clearly goes against the word of God. And, furthermore, politically and socially I will always oppose that lifestyle and movement. I just wanted to set the record straight. May peace be with you!

Citizen:

1. I do not assume you are gay just because you apparently support the gay agenda. I have many friends that feel the same way you do, but they are not gay. And yes, we are still friends. We can have opposite viewpoints and still be friends. The word ‘you’ in this case is referring to all of those who support the gay agenda. If I were talking about mankind, would you assume I was only talking about men, or the human race in general?
2. Criminalize and persecute are very strong words. I fail to see where I have criminalized or persecuted anyone. I have no problem with whom anyone goes home to at night or with whom anyone wants to form a relationship with. That is between that individual and their own beliefs. What I do have a problem with, is the gay agenda telling me I have to view it as an acceptable and normal mode of behavior. I have a problem with schools teaching my kids that this is normal. I have a right to my personal viewpoint as well as you (and this does mean you).
3. Consent, I believe, has been covered in the above paragraph. If there is no consent, then it is a criminal offense and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! So, once again, lets go back to hate, since you seem to only be able to convey your arguments, and yes, this means you, citizen, by accusing the rest of us of hating homosexuals and persecuting them. Once again, I repeat, disagreement does not mean hate. Never has and never will.
4. Yes, there are many ills in our society by which many people suffer, young and old. Do I have the answers for all of them? No. And neither do most people. And for the record, being homosexual does not make one a bad person. Anyone who believes that is absolutely wrong. Judge not lest ye be judged. And that means precisely, that the standard that you judge a person by, will be used to judge you! May peace be with you!

In response to Citizen, I am going to concentrate here on two words that you used, hate and acceptance. Lets cover "hate" first. Because one does not agree with your thoughts and views does not necessarily mean that they "hate" you or your message. Disagreement is not hate. To equate the words together as meaning the same thing is, at the very least, very convenient. It gives you a great reason to disavow most any argument that does not conform to your way of thinking by labeling it as hate, which it is not.

And now lets move on to the word “acceptance.” It really puzzles me, that a lifestyle you proclaim loudly, vigorously, and militantly, as being normal, gives you so much aggravation that you have to try to force those of us who do not agree with your lifestyle, to accept it as normal? If you are that comfortable with your lifestyle, then why must you seem to need everyone else’s approval or acceptance? While it may be true that those of us in “Christ” may have to at some time, render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, it does not mean that we will accept that of which God has said is an abomination before Him, as normal. We cannot, and will not.

The sins of fornication and adultry do not have a national agenda, via coalitions, to force acceptance to their lifestyles, on those of us who view their lifestyles as a sin. That's the difference.
