You see, I am first and foremost a Christian. Homosexuality does not coincide with a Christian life style. The Bible says in Leviticus "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination." (Leviticus 20:13) I do agree with this statement. Homosexuality is indeed an abomination....
...But does this mean we should go around screaming our heads off at them and showing them hatred and not love? No. The Bible also says "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). I guess you could also say "Don't hate the playa, hate the game."
I do think that Gay people are people and deserve to have rights. Robbing them of their rights is like putting a sign in your yard that says "All dogs can poop here, but not Poodles. We don't like Poodles." That's not very fair now is it?
I feel that states like North Carolina are only pushing Gay people further away. That's not how you get through to people. You don't close your heart and say "We're not gonna take. No we ain't gonna take it." You open your heart and show them Christ's love. If I'm not mistaken, Jesus would prefer it that way. After all, the people we so freely turn away were his closest friends.
