Yeah I have something better to offer, it's called differentiating between thinking something is a sin, and being a bigot, a nazi, or a member of the KKK.
If you had been halfway sentient in over the years, you'd know my favorite admonition is 'judge not, lest ye be judged.' And you'd know that I'm of the firm belief that everyone's got some sinnin' in them each and everyday.
So the goal isn't spotting motes in the eyes of others, it's according your own self in a way that facilitates communion and communication with God.
To that end, if you'd been halfway sentient in this very thread, you'd have seen early on that I don't think homosexual activity is necessarily a sin. I define sin [and it's just me talkin'] as that which interferes with communion with God. So it's possible that all sorts of familial or sexual relationships can be comported in an edifying manner.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. You are conflating notions of sin and notions of hatred because it's convenient for your mindset. Doesn't make it a proper conflation.
