...there are a lot of religious people that approach homoloveuality correctly. Such religious types approach religion as putting love forward first, ... From the mouth of a Christian: homoloveuality is not more of a sin than any other, and Christians tend to exacerbate it.

Church sues North Carolina over same-love marriage ban:

Let me expand too; there are Christians that approach homoloveuality like any other sin. They are not homophobic, they just do not align to the views. And that's okay. As long as they are not pushing it upon someone. My Senior year English teacher is a Christian and has a gay son and she supports gay rights. And detests biggotry and violence towards homoloveuals. This is how every good Christian should act. Every one is a human being and should be treated as such.

I think it's impossible to treat homoloveuality as a sin without being a family man.
ho·mo·pho·bi·a
ˌhōməˈfōbēə/Submit
noun
an extreme and irrational aversion to homoloveuality and homoloveual people.

It is incredibly ignorant and generalizing to assume that. My parents believe homoloveuality is a sin but in no way do they irrationally judge people for it. Even if they did express disappointment it definitely would be in private or just between themselves. I have friends that identify themselves as gay but my parents would still take them in and treat them as their own if something were to happen.

If they're accepting of gays, why do they embrace that passage of the Bible? Do they not wear mixed fabrics? Do they avoid eating shrimp/pigs/cheeseburgers/honey? Do they condemn all of these things? No? Then what makes the homoloveuality rule any different?

It is called cherry picking; Leveticus 18:22 and Lev. 20:13, as I said earlier, were for a Jewish-group that usually consisted of priests. They depicted laws, and stuff like that, that the Levites had to follow. In laymans terms, Christians and Jewish people cannot use the Old Testiment as a basis against gay people. And if you actually look at the structure, the mention of woman turns both passages into silliness:

18:22: "You shall not lie with a man as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
I would like to emphasize AS. This is more or less likely talking about a threesome, or biloveuals who lie with females and then turn to a male partner. Once you forget a woman, you're supposed to marry them to get your sins forgiven, and you can't have love with another partner out of marriage. Again, this is also towards Levites, as well. I would like to point out that "abomination" is a term that jewish people used as not sins, but morally incorrect in society.

20:13: "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."
I would like to point towards the first Leveticus entry. This is most likely a restatement for the law for LEVITES. Not for the average isrealites. This also, does not mention sin; this probably means throwing stones at people. Again, Levites.

1 Cor. 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homoloveuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Homoloveuals was mistranslated; that passage was made to mean "perverts".

Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."

Oh boy, you got m-

Oh wait. No. This is probably just a passage that someone wrote in order to go over the Leveticus rules, which were probable misinterperated. Remember, the Bible is not directly God's word. This could also mean having circle jerks with each other, or just experimenting, or was just a casual thing. Again, this is probably the only passage in the Bible that full blown goes against it, but you can't use this as concrete evidence. It usually has to go through many books of the Bible in order to actually be credible.

Besides, the Bible has gone through 2000 thousands of years of editing and retranslation to serve people's political needs
How could you trust that stuff?

Believe it or not, not every religious person holds the bible so close to their heart that they have a skewed moral compass.

I fail to see the relevance of this comment

omg the bible is in old english because it was translated when that was still used shiiiiiiiiit

I'm gay, so definitely not narcissism. Besides, I hate my body.
oh, wasn't aware of that.

Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned.
Luke 6:37
