You are absolutely right. Before anyone picks up the bible to justify any form of hatred, they need to think of one of the first and greatest commandments; "love thy neighbor as thyself". And because there weren't a bunch of clauses attached to that commandment, it means to love them unconditionally...gay, straight, bi, high, crazy, drunk, white, black, or afflicted and bow-legged with one eye in the back.

Yes, I feel you. Again you are absolutely right. By being silent you are communicating to the offenders that they are correct.
However, on that same token, for a christian to just sit idly by and say nothing about homosexuality would be the same as condoning the act. Nevertheless, I feel there is an appropriate way of going about it without the use of hate.
But is it really worth the time; trying to correct everything about everybody else? We're only on this earth for a short time. We all know it's not forever. So why not do the things that will reserve you a spot in heaven and stop worring about these crazies on earth?
