Wasn't that Leviticus verse in the Old Testament? You know, the same book that says eating shellfish and cutting your beard is a sin?
I thought Christians followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, who obviously refuted a lot of the Jewish traditions in favor of more personal freedom and love for all humanity.
Jesus never said anything bad about gays... Least I don't think so...

Its funny, because Leviticus was written as an add to the bible, it wasnt part of it originally. And it was more of a how to live guide.

Do I hate homosexuals? No Do I think two men kissing is gross? Yes Actually, I dislike the flamboyant homosexuals that constantly parade around their nature

It says in the bible that it is wrong... That being said, I was raised catholic yet don't agree with it 100%, sooooo I don't hate those who are attracted to the same sex. I say it that way because in most cases that is the only difference between them and you or I.

Christians don't "hate" gays. We just don't support same-sex marriage, as it is against our religion. I am a "Christian" and I have absolutely no problem with homosexuals.

Its not that they hate gays, they are likely okay with them it is just they are not into that form of sexual relationship as they do not believe in it.

Being heterosexual isn't one of the Ten Commandments.

I'm going to attend to a hetero parade.

Because most Christians keep the Old Testament in some kind of ignorant hypocrisy. If they where true Christians they would have scrapped the OT all together, and if they really followed the teachings of Jesus as they claim then they would love every body. So true Christians don't hate gay people. Also remember a lot of the Bible is out of date and was written in a time where you could stone your wife for not cooking your steak how you like it.

Edited by ABotelho: 12/11/2013 3:47:54 PMBecause picking and choosing. They pick what suits them in the Bible, and deny the rest. It's funny, because I've yet to actually meet a Christian IRL who hates homosexuals and has [i]also[/i] read the entire Bible. Hell, I know more about the Bible than most of my Christian friends. Sad, really.

Cuz gays are gay.

Meh interpretation. This is what happens when you have one group of people interpreting what ever they want.

The truth is that they hate us because someone told them they should. They can blame it on the bible, our lifestyle, and whatever else they are told is a viable excuse; but in the end, they're just regurgitating the teachings of some old homophobe, who regurgitated it to them on Sunday. No one is born a homophobe, or a racist. Its taught to them.

Because Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ told Us that They are not The Children of God.
