Your Stance on Gays/Lesbians Is...
A very controversial subject these days. Thank you, Tony, for putting me in the hot seat! Just kidding. Actually, in my mind, it's pretty simple. I think it's wrong. Period. I believe the Bible teaches us that it's a sin, and since I believe the Bible to be true, there you have it. I know that's not a popular idea in today's society, but that's what I believe.
I think the real question to ask is, how should Christians respond to it? My first response is, with love. Christ loved sinners. He reached out to them. My second response is, with honesty. Christ didn't mince words. I think that is crucial, especially in today's politically correct society. I think sometimes we go too far in our efforts not to be judgemental or turn people off from the gospel. We water it down, we bend over backwards to apologize for speaking the truth sometimes.
So, my philosophy is to speak the Truth in Love. If I try to do either without the other, I am in sin.
I don't know if you wanted me to debate whether homosexuality is a sin or not, but I hope I answered your question about where I stand on the matter.
As usual, please feel free to post comments, but be respectful of each other. Thanks!

I myself wouldnt take part in it .. but ive gotten to the point where if people dont respect me for being me then i need to respect others for what they do .. while i may not agree with it .. im not apart of it to make such a statment

I can understand that, Matt. I think we can all have respect for each other even when we disagree. It doesn't mean that I think it's any less wrong. But I certainly don't think I am entitled to treat them like dirt because I think I'm right and they are wrong. There are people out there who do that, on both sides of the issue, and it's not right. I try not to be one of them.

Your practical approach is excellent. And I agree with your principles, too. Well said.
