:::I respect that the bible is your moral code. But as I'm respecting your code that I don't live by, I don't think it's unreasonable to be allowed to live by my own. Unless somebody forced you to be gay at some point or another, then the existence of gay people has no effect on your ability to live a biblically good life. Is there a passage that discourages the philosophy of "live and let live"? (I'm genuinely curious on this point, please let me know if there is). Moreover, I'm not gay, although many people close to me are. And they are some of the kindest, most virtuous people I know. So that's my reason for caring about the issue. As far as my judgement goes, that's between me and my creator, and I have no fear or regrets whenever it happens.
