It isn't anti gay, it is anti-sin.
loving balance is needed. Sin is plainly outlined and the truth is that homosexual practices are sinful. But i like how Jesus said that he that is without sin cast the first stone. We are all condemned and have all fallen short. No one has the right to condemn, we can stand uncondemned and guitless when we stand with Jesus. But don't forget that He tells us to go and sin no more. Homosexuals need this transforming experience as much as Mary Magdalene.
Joh 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, (homosexuality) in the very act.
......He lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Joh 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Just remember there are gays on the left and right side of politics. Not all of them are activists. Not all of them are seeking to take over mainstream society. Some just want some basic rights. Even some don't need same sex marriage. The same sex marriage debate polarised me against the gay lobby. I could sense they had a sneaky agenda too with the promotion of homosexuality in schools which is plainly sinister.
But my phase now is to defend the ones who just want to mind their own business and get on with their life. Like we all do.

This was a good lively discussion for the darkest night of winter for northern climate's. We should help those who are not yet Christians to understand Bible words like "the flesh" is a term the Apostle Paul used to describe all aspects of human nature such as rebellion, unforgiveness, judging others, not just intimacy for Christians and gentiles.
Jesus said, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh (physical nature) is weak.". He also said that it's human weakness, that increases God's power.
So, the weaker a Christian may think they are, the greater God's power can be present.

You make a lot of powerful statements here. It's true that same-sex is lust. But so is attraction between men and women, if it is not in a healthy relationship. Adultery (betrayal of a marriage trust) or trusting relationship between those of the opposite sexes, based on understanding and consent of free will, is more serious than other sexuality.
Adultery is more serious because it is a betrayal of a sacred vow or commitment. Marriage is not possible between same-sexes. And personal issues such as non-consensual sensuality with images of people you don't even know is considered kind of weird by some people, since it is healthier to make the effort to meet real people you can have a normal relationship with.
Risky behavior's can cause serious illnesses (STD's), and According to the Bible, there are bad vibes also and spiritual dangers with fornication (unhealthy relations).
The farther people chase a rabbit off the right trail, the more dangerous it can be, until one day a wolf might show up, and the rabbit says, "I'm protected by God, " and the wolf says, "this is my territory;. you left the friendly folks a mile ago, and 50 rabbits back.". And I'm looking for a reckless, lost rabbit, for dinner."
"Well, those 50 rabbits are my friends."
"Yeah? So why are they running from you? Maybe you're on the wrong rabbit trail."
"Well, maybe. And maybe wolves are a lot dumber than they look."
You can see how this could escalate into an unnecessary confrontation. And after so many rabbit trails,
What if the Lord said,
"Go talk to the wolf."
"You spend more time in his territory."

A lot of gays, not as much in modern times in the Western world because being gay is more accepted, have committed suicide and tried "alternative therapies" where they have hurt themselves to stop being gay. Gays have been imprisoned and been subject to violence. Let's step in the shoes of a gay person for minute. The reaction/opposition they faced is why they have become activists. At the end of the day, people want to be with the people they love, and they are willing to fight for this. Christians need to think about how we interact/speak about LGBT folks. Calling them/homosexuality as "disgusting" and "sick" does not help.
