Except that race and sexual activity are not comparable. At all.
What's your definition, and why should gays have to be tolerated? Why can't you just love and accept your fellow man for what he or she is? People on HuskerBoard tolerate me, because I have a propensity to say some stupid sh#t. Most people on HuskerBoard accept gays for what they are, because there is nothing wrong with being gay. Matt Chandler is promoting tolerance of gays, because their sin is just as sinful as any other sin. That's dumb. The whole idea of sin is dumb, and it's straight insulting to gays to compare their sexuality to something like murder or bestiality. It's just a way to hide hate in a pretty package. Hating gay people is hate, regardless of what the Bible or any other holy book says.
How would you feel if the Bible said it was a sin to have sexual relations with someone a year younger than you, but those are the women you're attracted to? How would you feel if 33 states had laws that say you couldn't marry a woman a year younger than you? How would you feel if millions, perhaps billions, of people across the world hated you just because you are attracted to women a year younger than you? You'd probably feel pretty bad, huh?
If you can't accept two men because they like to do the dirty with each other, then you just need to grow up. I'm sure they accept you for all the sins you're guilty of.
First of all - it's not gay people that Christianity 'tolerates' - it's homosexual behavior, at least ideally. People get this wrong all the time, but speaking for myself and for plenty of others, but it is not homosexual people that we think are wrong. Second, I do love my fellow men, to about the same extent as most humans do, but love and acceptance are not the same thing, and I don't accept any quality of the people I love that I think is wrong or harmful. My friend Jon is unreliable to make plans with and I want better for him. My friend Dez has a drinking problem and I'm not going to just let that slide without trying to help. People can be self-destructive and have character and personality traits that and real love of your fellow man is loving them for who they are, but it isn't JUST loving them as they are - it's also wanting more for them and coming alongside them to encourage them towards being better people.
Like you said though, those are self destructive behaviors. Homosexuality isn't a self destructive behavior any more than heterosexuality is. Again you're saying that they're "bad people", that's probably not how you intended but that's what you just said.
I just hope you believe it's immoral to wear clothing made of two kinds of material, to plant two kinds of seed in your field, or that those who work on the sabbath should be put to death.
