Hi, we are not to take in things of this world. For you now seeing gay people is very common. You seeing gay people all the time has affected you. When I grew up we never seen gay people ever. (or I should say we never knew they were gay). I can remember as a teenager seeing for the first time two good looking men and I was thinking oh their cute. Then they held hands and walked away. Shocked and horrified me. The bible says it's wrong. We have to follow the word. We aren't anyones judge. We pray for them so they can be set free. It is not what God wants. But also there is too much always talking about gay people are sinners. We are all sinners. God doesn't like hate, unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, they are all sins also. Many Christians have all those sins and they are not listening to God. And they are very wrong also.

Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth
I think that the answer to your question may lie with the verses above. It is also not our place to judge, but rather to leave that to the lord.

We christians are not sinners anymore because Jesus the Truth has set us free. It`s doesn`t mean we are infallible; it means that although we may sin sometimes we are not enslaved to sin anymore because the addiction to sin has been broken by God`s power. Politics is corrupted and gays must be born again else they`ll be condemned like Sodome was.
Yeah, to my surprise I've actually had very good discussions with those of other beliefs simply by being intolerant and closeminded towards their faith. I recommend trying the intolerant and closed minded approach sometimes. It's not so bad, because you realise you don't have to be subject to the opinions and criticisms of unbelievers, when you are truly following God. It's quite freeing, and you don't really care what the "other person" thinks about your faith and your person. You shouldn't be afraid of offending others. Why try to be tolerant towards others, when they put a guilt trip of "intolerance" label on you for being a Christian?, and they are just as intolerant towards your faith as they claim you are towards them?
Find one verse in the bible that says Christians must be tolerant to other religions. And I'll show you verses where God actually had those who followed other gods - killed! Tolerance, is the reason why homosexuals nearly have their goal of having marriage accepted, and why christians must refrain from wearing symbols of their faith in case they "offend" others.
The whole tolerance and "don't offend me" culture is not from God IMO, it's from the dalai lama or someone like him.

I think you’ll find that at no time does any scripture in the bible encourage believers to accept or support other religions in any way.
There is something that I discovered long ago about my relationship with the Lord. I am not afforded the opportunity to re-define sin. In my mind, many sins might seem completely harmless, especially those which occur behind closed doors. Part of our relationship with the Lord is built on trust, and as a father warns his children of unseen dangers, God warns his people.
There is a term known as legalism, whichm in short, means to establish a set of rules and to over-emphasize their role in human life. Examples of a few of these would bem rules regarding outward holiness, which does nothing to actually produce holiness, but rather, gives the observer of the rules, a sense of righteousness or a sense of drawing closer to moral perfection.
While I do not support legalism, I do however believe, that when God establishes a way to be saved, I am not given the license, in my liberty, to develop my own personal philosophy apart from his word. We must be careful not to reduce God’s word to becoming simply suggestions, into which, we add our own personal opinion, or ‘our own take on things’.
I have met some of the sweetest, most good natured Buddhists, Muslims and Homosexuals, there are. But I am not afforded the right to use my experiences, intelligence, earthly wisdom or opinions, to re-evaluate God’s definition of sin. If I would attempt this, I would actually be working against the ministry of the Holy Spirit who was sent to lead men to the truth.
The ‘ I’m Ok, you’re Ok’ ,philosophy is gaining great popularity in non-Christian circles. Even the witches of wicca, have a similar creed, “ If it harms none, do as you will”. But God is not a God of empty and ever changing philosophies generated by the futility of man’s thinking. His word is not subject to being dissected by the self proclaimed liberal, freethinking, open minded proponents of religious unification. He is the one who paid a great price so that His truth would be regarded above all, making liars of all others.
John 3:16
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever would believe on Him, would not perish, but would have everlasting life.
