I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to accept that a practicing sinner is a Christian, especially when instead of being repentant or even struggling against the sin, they accept it within themselves and propagate more of the same in others.
I do NOT hate homosexuals--but I do reject their behavior as sinful, and I do not believe it can coincide with Christianity.
Galatians 1:6-12
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
