I have to say, I support what you friend posted. It's a shame she removed you from her friend's list though, since it would have been better to discuss why homosexuality should or should not be accepted.
You can support equality without condoning it.
Oh my goodness! I saw a friend of mine post this too, we ended a bitter argument earlier today about this. I wasn't trying to be rude to her, I just told her that if she is going to post what the bible says it should be accurate...
Can you explain how the post was inaccurate? The image explains that Christians should accept equality, and allow people to act on their own behalf. It never said homosexuality was okay, only that Christians should allow gays to have equal rights.
Before you address an argument, you need to understand the argument.
People are born with attraction to the opposite sex.
Obviously, this isn't necessarily the case.
Alot of these campaigns have money behind them. People are paid to propagate ideas like these to influence social change.
Considering all the funding that goes into preaching against homosexuality, your point is rather weak.

Not once did the image state that it's okay to be gay. It stated that Christians should love the sinner. It stated that homosexuals should be treated like equals. Christians don't support laws taking away the rights of divorced people, why shouldn't homosexuals have rights? Notice, the image STILL treats homosexuality as a sin. If God's the only judge, then let him do his job. If two gay people want to shack up or marry each other, let them answer to God. Don't ban an act that isn't a part of your jurisdiction.
If people want to sin, let them have that right. Instead of forcing them from sinning by taking away their rights, give them a choice and preach to them instead. If they want to follow the word of God, then they'll choose to do so. If not, then you have to let go and let them continue in sin. Don't hate them. Don't cheer on those who ridicule them or those who harm them. Don't make them 2nd class people.
