Yes, one does have to wonder why
Well the idea that homosexuality is a sin in Christianity really doesn't even have a good base. One could argue the Torah is against it, but it's also against eating pork and shellfish. The verses in the NT fundies often use to bash gays can be interpreted in many other ways besides the popular way, and it seems they like to interpret them specifically that way to demean gays.
'The Westboro Baptists certainly show a lot of hate towards homosexuals themselves.

How can one really hate the sin and love the sinner anyway? People are defined by their actions, and to say you hate what a person does to make them happy is to say you hate them as a person. I'm not defending what all people do to make them happy, such as pedophiles and murderers, but what gays do is consensual, so where is the justification, other than in this or that holy text, for hating them?
Are you suggesting we should embrace alcoholism since individuals are defined by their actions? Are you saying that a person cannot love and except an alcoholic but hate the addiction he/she has?
Are you equating homosexuality with alcoholism?
I am equating people with actions and how one can embrace a person without the action?
or translated" Love the sinner and not the sin"
If people say they don't hate us, but they demonize us and oppose our full equality under the law, I don't believe them. Talk's cheap; their actions say everything.
The thing is Smoke, you may even the score by hating people who hate you even more, but that changes little.
Until the ignorant are educated, queers will suffer. Or at least until 51% get educated anyway.
I wish you would listen to yourself for a minute, "until we repress these damn Christians, the queers will never be free." :ignore:
I know life may suck being you, but don't blame all of us Christians, some of us are seeing the light and are willing to pull the right lever in the ballot box for you. :rainbow1:
