I think it is you and others here that don't get it. You have me coming off vastly different from how I intend it. You act as if I was yelling that disapproval and pointing a finger in his face while I did it, and nothing could be further from the truth. I think it would be so much clearly if you could hear me say it rather than just read it.

No, I totally get that. I know you don't realize it is harmful, and that you are saying it in the gentlest way possible; but in the end, no matter how gently put, it is still something that hurts people.

I don't see how I am hurting anyone, how is my approval that important? No one needs my approval to be gay! I am not calling them slurs or any other names. I defend gay rights. How am I hurting anyone?

You're telling someone they are inherently wrong for being who they are.

incorrect. I am saying I think they are wrong. That is quite different than telling them they are wrong.

I'm actually more than fine with this, but I find the double standard really annoying when you guys start complaining about how mean and offensive we are being for merely expressing our views, while you openly express things that are really mean and harmful toward real live people (again, even when gently put), and then scratch your heads in puzzlement when we find it distasteful.

when someone compares the Bible to Mein Kampf and mocks my religion, they are being mean and hurtful towards real people. Christians are real people. When I express my opinions of homosexuality, I try to do so as sensitively as I can, Bingo is not being anywhere near sensitive when he is talking about Christianity.

So just how am I to express my opinion that I think homosexuality is a sin, without it being hurtful, mean, harmful, and/or offensive?
