you might not "hate" gay people but you are by default "against" them
like I said before the things people so to each other it amazes me we draw the line at gender
What do you mean by "against them"? I do not view them as my enemy. I just don't agree with what they do.

The difference being that when somebody commits theft, someone else is actually effected in a negative way. The same is simply not true of "gay acts".
Can you please just tell us WHY you consider homosexuality to be morally wrong? What possible negative effects are there? What single logical reason is there for you to be "against" it? Stop saying you just think it's wrong. WHY do you think it's wrong?
You're missing the point of the comparison. I am simply stating that being against gay acts does't mean that I hate gays.
If anything, the stealing-affects-others point strengthens what I say. If I do not hate thieves, how much less likely am I to hate homosexuals (who affect others less [negatively] than thieves)?

No. Just stop right there. You don't love them. If you loved them, you wouldn't (somehow) be "against" what makes them who they are.
For fuck's sake, you just compared gay sex (or "gay acts", whatever those are) to stealing to justify how you're not deluded. I hope you're having fun over there in la-la land.
Wrong. I do love them. You just do not like not being able to claim that I hate homosexuals. I live by "hate the sin; love the sinner."
Again: someone misses the point of the comparison. I simply mean to convey that I can be against something, while not hating the trespasser. If I can look at people who steal, and say that I still love them, I can do the same with homosexuals. In my eye, homosexual acts are wrong. However, I still love them. I am against drugs use, as well; however, if my friends use drugs, I do not hate them for it.

Sorry that you don't feel respected. But, it's my right to not accept it as right. Just as it is your right to commit gay acts.
Yes - I do not hate gays. But I hate what they do (referring to homosexual acts). If you don't like that, too bad, I guess. Not much more to say. I don't want you to feel angered or disrespected, but I'm not going to allow for "political correctness" to go against my values.
