Correct, sincere Christians from "Side A" honestly claim that they believe that God blesses same-sex marriages. Although I do not agree with them on that issue, I still consider many of those same people my brothers and sisters in Christ. But I am not trying to make an excuse for them or downplay sin or repentance. We all have to work out our own salvation.
When Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, he said that (because of their faith) they were "washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." This was a very sexually deviant church (even after their conversion), but Paul still considered them brothers and called them back to repentance.
