Oh boy... I'm not a fan of bringing this up, but I'll do it again. I used to be homosexual. And yeah, I'll agree, it does seem that people have an easier time condemning homosexuality compared with other things because they've never struggled with the temptation... that doesn't make what they're saying any less true. It's still wrong, and awesomely, God can set us free from it.

How can we claim to love someone if we don't condone what brings them joy? Let's say they like vandalizing houses... or cutting themselves... obviously you can point out that these hurt themselves or others in more blatant ways than homosexuality, but the point is you can still love people who do these things so much that you wish they would stop for THEIR sake... you don't want to see them go down the path they're going EVEN though they enjoy what they're doing. Love is not about letting someone do whatever they want... it's about wanting the very best for them
