SHOULD YOU RPECT GAY PEOPLE IF YOU FD HOMOSEXUALY IMMORAL?
* gay people i respect *
Pope Francis says Catholics shouldn’t judge gay people, even though official church doctre views them as “trsilly disorred. Of late, many opponents of gay equaly have taken pas to sist that, whatever they thk of homosexualy, they not only love gay people, they also rpect them.
Defendg himself agast allegatns by punter Chris Kluwe that he went on an anti-gay tira the Mnota Vikgs locker room, special teams ach Mike Priefer released a statement nyg that he said gays would burn hell and claimg he was “rpectful of all dividuals. ” Charlie Crist, the former Republin ernor of Florida who is now nng to re-take the office as a Democrat, gave an terview to an LGBTQ webse apologizg for his earlier anti-gay posns.
Even the pope has now said that Catholics should not judge gay people, spe official church doctre viewg them as “trsilly disorred. But is this really what folks who view homosexualy as a profound moral wrong actually believe? In an email to me about my recent piece on Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, the nservative Christian who was briefly spend as a realy show star after llg homosexualy a rdal s and parg to btialy, the rear wrote, “This natn needs to learn that disagreement do [not] equate to hatred” (except that, a possible Frdian slip, what my rear actually wrote was that “disagreement do equate to hatred”) “and that any Christian who is tly a disciple of Christ will disagree wh homosexualy while genuely lovg and rpectg those who practice .

Y, you n oppose homosexualy whout hatg gays and lbians. It’s te, as many gay people pot out, that we are fed by far more than our sexual orientatn and behavrs, and an ial world, the would be nsired jt one part of who we are. Though gay people don’t choose to be gay, most make choic on a daily basis that flow om what the Catholic Church has lled a “tenncy orred toward an trsic moral evil.

For nservative Christians like Phil Robertson who ce the Bible to jtify anti-gay views, homosexualy is not jt any old wrong but a gateway s, the praved act om which all other misbehavr flows. That’s why, when asked to fe “sful” an terview, Robertson said: “Start wh homosexual behavr and jt morph out om there. ” Its official posn is that the homosexual “tenncy”—not jt gay sex—is orred toward that “trsic moral evil.
” That means even chebic gay virgs are orred toward evil, whether or not they have gay sex.
As for those who do “engage homosexual activy, they nfirm wh themselv a disorred sexual clatn which is sentially self-dulgent. None of this is worthy of rpect or whholdg judgment; both beg gay and actg gay ll for nmnatn. Why should people who believe the thgs about gay people get to pe rponsibily for the judgment that’s an herent part of subscribg to such beliefs by mutterg benign platus about rpectg everyone?
