Yeah it’s a sin, but if you don’t believe that then what does it matter?

18.7 percent were targeted because of bias against sexual orientation.
Giving people reason to hate is not a good idea. See Trump, Donald.
I happen to be very sympathetic to the plights of the LGTB community. I do believe in tolerance. I in fact hold the opinion that gay marriage should be legal for many reasons which I do not have the time to discuss here. I agree with Frink wholheartedly on this post.
Believing something is sinful, however, is not the same as justifying bias against sexual orientation. How many adulterers are victims due to what Christians consider a sin? How many fornicators? How many liars?
Just because a Christian perceives homosexuality as sin doesn’t mean he is justified in any level of intolerance, and just because an atheist/agnostic knows a Christian sees it as sin doesn’t mean that Christian is hateful. See _ender, darth.
