Better we should work to change the attitudes of hatred into a more appropriate and constructive response to immorality, rather than change/weaken the moral structure of our society to accommodate immorality simply for the sake of unconditional inclusion. The revulsion that a majority of people feel when confronted with homosexuality is no different from what we feel about other moral issues. This is a natural part of us, just as God created us. It is argued that there is a genetic basis for male homosexuality, but there are equally strong (if not stronger) arguments for genetic predisposition to alcoholism. Do we say that God created alcoholics and homosexuals, so as a society we must embrace, affirm and support their respective behaviors and lifestyles? We must certainly reach out to these segments of the population with love and compassion, but we do not need to affirm or support poor lifestyle choices or restructure our social values to accommodate and support them. I do not understand how this is interpreted as a hateful point of view, when this is simply a necessity for preserving the moral fabric of our society. And separate from that, have we learned nothing at all about responding to the Word of God with "yes, but..."?
