In this case 'Liberal' means a condemnation of homosexual acts as sinful - whereas the 'Conservatives' are inclined to view a homosexual person as sinful no matter their actions.

I think they are talking about the actual act for the most part. The bible calls one man lying with another an abomination but it also calls lustful thoughts, context being heterosexuals, a sin. As far as Conservatives considering all homosexuals sinners, regardless of their actions...well I think it's safe to say that EVERYONE sins, one person's evil thoughts, though never carried out in action are just as bad as a murder. That's a tough one. I guess NO ONE should be allowed to be ministers/priests whatever if we're looking for perfection!
