sorry to drag up the original post, but it is an interesting point.
the idea of hating the sin, loving the sinner has been thrown around in discussions about sex, abortion, any kind of crime, even any kind of bad behaviour. it is a nice sounding, warm and fuzzy sentiment.
one problem i have is why hate homosexuality in the first place? sure, you can love the homosexuals themselves, but why do you even have a problem with what they do? why hate it? there are probably lots of hetersexual behaviours that loving straight couples do that you don't do, but you would not hate them for it.
the other problem is that homophobia (however it is defined or used) tends to become directed against the person even if it was not the original intent. the best approach, most people have recognised, is to begin to examine the irrationality of opposing homosexuality in the first place. | pull a thread back on topic?!?! how dare you!
I used to work for a guy that was(is) gay. I fucking hated him! Not because he was gay, but because he was(is) a fucking scumbag asshole. (just so happens he was gay) he would still be a fucking scumbag asshole even if he wasn't gay and I would still hate him. Turns out he was a thieving scumbag fucking asshole.
