[quote=NotSoAnonymous]Q:I am a Christian. I believe that practicing homosexuality is a sin. I also believe that adultery and fornication is a sin. It doesn't mean that I hate gays, adulterers and/or fornicators. I can be friends with someone while I disagree with how their choose to live their life. I'm not passing judgment, I just don't support certain acts. Why is this considered homophobia? I don't dislike gays and I certainly don't want to harm them. While I don't agree with gay marriage, I understand that it is necessary in order to grant gays equal rights. While I have my religious views on things, I would never want this to be used as an instrument to oppress.

I will say that I find it frustrating that some gay people are quick to throw out the homophobic and/or bigot label. In many cases, it's not true and only serves to create animosity. My own mother is an active fornicator and my stepfather an adulterer! I don't agree with the way they live their lives...Does this mean I harbor hatred for them? Of course not.

A: I do understand what you are saying. So long as you don't legislate against me I suppose I would get over it like I do with other members of my family. In my experience people who share your belief system not only do not believe in equal rights for me but actively fight against it with a tenacity they do not give to the problem of adulterers or fornicators.

I find it personally hurtful that you'd have me live a loveless life - not acting on my innate sexuality, but I agree you have the right to those views. [/quote]
