[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of false equivalencies here.  Homosexual sex does not equal "gay love".  Christians do not "hate" gays just because they object to homosexual sex.  Neither do Christians hate people who fornicate or commit adultery.  And many Christians also slip into fornication, adultery, and homosexual sex.

I definitely DO object to hate, the ultimate antiChristian vice.[/quote]
What's the opposite of hate? Accept? You fail to accept that other people have different morals and sexualities than you. You try and strip their rights away. You try and make their life as awful as possible.

What would you call that other than hate?[/quote]

I think that's an important question.  The opposite of hate is love.  Love is the affection and (from Kant) the "will for the good of the other" that we direct to every other person.  "Accept" has to do with whether we concede or tolerate or promote certain behaviors as legitimately moral.[/quote]
This doesnt even answer the question. Where is the christian love? Love the sinner hate the sin? Why must you keep perpetuating such hate against LGBTQ? [/quote]

I think "Love the sinner, hate your own sin" is probably the best Christian approximation to this.  You seem to think that you can't love someone if you think their behavior is sometimes immoral.  I love, closely, lots of people who have done immoral things.  It doesn't mean I call those things moral.[/quote]

You calling a person’s existence immoral.

It’s like calling a disabled person a mistake.

Stop with the hate.[/quote]
