Church and Homophobia

I do agree that some people are hostile and negative towards homosexuals, but i would completely disagree with the idea that the Bible teaches us to reject them or be afraid of them in any way. We are told to first and foremost love God with everything we have,and the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor. This applies to everybody and does not in any way exclude homosexuals. While the Bible disapproves of the lifestyle that they live, we are still to love and care for them so that they can see the lve of God through his servants. it is perfectly possible to love someone while still disagreeing with them. Homosexuality is a sin like any other and shouldnt be hated the way it is so much today. I find it rediculous that a person has enough hate within them to shun and mock someone simply because of a differing lifestyle. Hatred like that is not a good example of Christ's love at all and if anything gives evidence for those that call Christians hateful hypocrits. Homosexuals are people just like you and I and are every bit as much deserving of God's love through his followers.
