It goes back to love the person and hate the sin , I wouldnt hate a sinner ( I am one ) I would hate the sin ( just as I hate my own sins)

as such I cannot accept a sin as an valid alternative lifestyle , but I would not harm the person who sins

I hope that is clearer.
I'm confused though. You say above that homosexuality is a choice, as you say that people choose that behaviour.

I'd also like to point out that no where in The Bible does it say that homosexuality is a sin. It says it is an abomination. It is man who has coined the association with sin. I'm curious as to why so many conservatives aren't as focused on adulterers as they are on homosexuals, when adultery is listed as a far greater "crime" that homosexuality, by virtue of it being listed in the Commandments.
