If you judged everyone in the world by the kind of sex they have, there would probably be a lot of people you automatically wouldn't like, including some of your own kinky heterosexual friends.
I don't recognize the term "anti-gay". Gay means to be happy; carefree. I am opposed to homosexuality (which some will say is like being opposed to ocean tides, I suppose). I believe, based upon the word of God, that homosexuality is a sin - along with fornication, divorce, adultery and such.
I've never hated a homosexual. Every one that I have known more than casually - socially and in work - has become a friend. I don't preach at them or to them. The only time the subject is ever brought up is if they do so - and they have always been aware of my belief. I see no point at all in "hate".... it forms no part of Christian theology, though sadly it does form a part of unChristian mistheology. I see a point in "love", for God loves every one. And I don't understand why opposing what a person
does necessarily means one doesn't like the person.
It is ridiculous for anyone to think that a homosexual is an "inferior" person. A true Christian could never think that way. For true Christians know that they themselves are as guilty of sin as anyone. They are not "superior" but should, according to the Bible, have come to know how inferior they are - for the only true comparison is to Jesus and all fall so far short that there is no difference between us
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
