Why are some of those who believe homosexuality is a sin so afraid of it?
Homosexuality in itself isn't a sin according to - as far as I am aware - any religion, so if we just think about homosexuality in general as a topic or homosexuals as a topic, why does it terrify some people so much?
It isn't the biggest sin, the most harmful sin, the most likely sin... It's one among others.
Where does the extreme fear come from and how could it be reduced among people who belive homosexuality is a sin, if we exclude the idea that the sin could be removed from the list or the people could become less religious on that issue.
It is possible to consider it a sin and even condemn it without feeling extreme fear, discomfort, frustration or anger when the topic is approached.
They're not afraid of homosexuality. I myself am LGBT, and a devout Christian. Yes, I know. Impossible, you say. I also worship in a church that has seemingly contradictory message about homosexuality, they support homosexuals themselves, contributing to AIDS research and asking members not to judge LGBT people in their households, while at the same time being opposed to gay priests and gay marriage. The statement made here is that homosexuality is a sin and should not be considered otherwise, yet all of us are sinners so LGBT members are a thing. They just tend not to be ordained members.
What they are afraid of, however, is an Anti-Life Agenda. And yes, I made that term up. But it fits. Basically, when you start normalizing LGBT behavior (much of what doesn't produce new offspring into the world), and you also you also legitimize grossly underage or overage relationships (pedophilia and the cougar phenomenon), what's next? Bestiality, necrophilia, dendrophilia (with trees)? I'm sure if I had enough imagination I could think of a few other ways to
avoid having children. Like, inducing people to remove sexual organs due to supposed cancer risk (you know what doesn't risk cancer?
Becoming pregnant). Like convincing people they "need" a sex change surgery when the end effect is sterility (I used to be trans before I decided nope, I'm genderfluid, so yeah I kinda figured this out).
The only thing that is cool here, is safe sex with condoms, or oral sex. Or unsafe sex in a committed relationship.
Then there's abortion, which dumb idiots
say that the Bible is silent about. No, actually, there wasn't the word "abortion" as a euphemism but the Bible made it very clear that
CHILD SACRIFICE was not okay. You see, whenever people lost their way, child sacrifice to Ba'al or Molech were a thing. The way they did it then was not with surgical tools but by placing the child on a clay altar of a bull with hands. The bull was basically a clay stove, and when lit would be hot enough to scorch the child. While it's okay for individuals to decide they are LGBT, it's not okay for society to tell impressionable young kids that there are 72 genders. Nor is it okay to sacrifice children to a Mother's Legally-allowed Choice.

MOLECH.
