I notice alot of people like the "Hate the sin but love the sinner" quote when it comes to homosexuality. Personally I think it's because it's a nice way to tell themselves that they aren't really prejudiced against gays.

But let me give an example of "Hate the sin but love the sinner" and see if anybody thinks it sounds right? If somebody were to say...

"I don't hate Jews, infact I love Jews.. it's just people who speak Hebrew, pray in Synagogues and who celebrate Hanukkah that I really hate".

Sorry but that ^ would be totally unexceptable and makes no sense whatsover! So why is it exceptable in respect to homosexuality?

 In your example that's hating both the sin and the sinner.

To phrase it better "I don't hate Jews...it's just that I think it's wrong to pray in synagogues and celebrate Hanukkah." That would be more analogous of that attitude, or at least the attitude which I hold and which Catholics, if not all Christians, should hold. Not "I don't hate homosexuals but I hate homosexuals who have sex with each other," but "I don't hate homosexuals, but I believe it is very wrong for them to have sex with each other." Maybe you don't see the difference, but it is a huge and very important one.
