Yes I know. If your God is love, whey do you hate homosexuality? Must be a different God than mine, as mine loves all diversity within man.
Separating the person from the action doesn't work. Do you love Hitler? Hate his crimes, but love him?

I sincerely doubt that. Please post a link to your peer reviewed proof. And even if you had that only would show that you can reason logically in some areas and not others. This is not uncommon. It is a human trait.
I'm a musician.
If people tell me they love me, but hate me being a musician... I don't want them as close contacts.
I don't want this love.
I don't want constant battling about me and my career. Either they accept it or not. I don't want to constantly be told I must change my music/ my style/ my profession/ my life/ and so on.
I think that LGBT+ people feel the same about the love being shown to them by devout Christians.

It is under the peer-review now. I have a beautiful mind. Why? I like my mind. My mother likes my mind. My friend with PhD likes my mind. I am looking for mistakes in my proof, but I can not yet find them.
The people are different, but the state authority does not hate gay people.

Then your claim is a bit premature. And you still do not see how that was a non sequitur. Just because one can reason logically in one area does not guarantee that they can reason logically in other areas. When attached to an irrational belief logic usually goes down the drain.

It is an illogic sentence, with all respect. Why? they can not love and hate you at the same time.
They love you and they have no reason to hate your music. I am sure, your music is good.
God of beauty loves your beautiful music.

Actually yes. Russia has passed several anti-homosexual laws recently.

You mean to teach young children how it is good to be gay?
The laws are anti-sexuality, but not anti-sexuals.

Christianity?
Yes. It teaches homosexuality is a behavior not a sexual orientation, and as such christians see homosexuals as people predominate to sexual promiscuity (to them, same-sex sex). Even if a christian "loves the sinner," they are still associating that sin (same-sex sex) with homosexuals as if homosexuals "own" same-sex sex and earns a christians' special attention as such.
Many christians are homophobic because they label homosexuals based on their own definitions and use the biblical translation of homosexuality without understanding what it means today as medical science has learned more about it.
Many christians respect homosexuals (but that word has a negative connotation-gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc would be better) or even tolerate us, but loving a group of people as a whole by associating sin as "their" sin -and- treating us based on this error is not love at all.

Indeed, it's amongst the things this law does in addition of preventing pro-LGBTQ activism or even basic, science based, sexual education in school. It also prevents movies and tv show to portray homosexuality in something else than exploitative ways. It's very homophobic.

The number of LGBTQ people grows. Thus, at least one heterosexual has changed his own mindset to homosexuality. Can he change it back?

Which is a distinction without difference as it was mention and illustrated by others in the thread.
I'm not a racist: I don't hate black people, I just hate blackness.

Jesus has taught me to separate sin from the sinner. It is my Religion DOGMA. The DOGMA is absolute Truth. I am instructed by Holy Fathers to call my Religion as right one. Thus, my religion is not wrong, with all respect to other religious people.
My thought is that hating homosexuality should be in proportion to hate for other sins like gluttony, drinking, etc. Otherwise its just focusing on other people's business. Technically speaking coffee is a sin to drink, but people don't go on and on about that. Chocolate is decadent. Watching TV is a sin, technically. Nobody talks about that.
Yeah, we get it.
So, what is it you want to discuss? Your mind is made up, you have no interest in hearing from anyone else.
