Exactly!
Thats why we should speak up with this issue. Yes, homosexuality is a sin, but yes, God is loving and merciful that He gave His own sacrifice that anyone guilty of sin may repent and be forgiven forever. And even if we slip up once more, we can again repent and continue our walk with Him. That God only hates sin, and not those who deal with temptation (which is every single one of us).
And yeah there are gonna be many people who are angry about that, because they want the life they want. But that doesnt mean we try to appease them : p They chose not to follow Him, then let them be and continue to seek those who seek Him, so that we can help them.
