Is Christianity Anti-Gay?
I think that most of the mainline churches have a healthy and loving attitude towards homosexuals, but that is not what is meant by being anti-gay. Anti-gay seems to include those Christian churches and believers who believe gay sex is sinful, are against gay marraige, gay ordination, etc.
Christ hates sin and loves the sinner. The Bible has alot to say about sexuality and other desires of the flesh. It isn't just a couple of passages and what the Bible says remains relevant today- epecially in our culture. (I don't like to quote scripture- in the hope readers will be inspired to explore it for themselves.)
Somewhere in recent history, the importance of an individual's sexual activity has been elevated to an essential part of his humanity. Mentioning the word abstinance creates a wave of indignation. Its a shame, because Christ makes it clear that He has come to give us abundant life. Yet there are those who reject His promise for a moments pleasure.

but the true problem becomes when Christians foist their opinions and morals on those of us who want no part of them, ie. gay marriage, adoption, etc. the seperation between church and state has become too blurred in recent years. religion has become to exclusive and is attempting to change the country according to it's limited scope.
