Most Christian denominations teach, to one degree or another, "love the sinner but hate the sin." So while they may think of homosexuality as a sin, they don't hate people who are homosexual. All people are sinners, after all.

I agree. AFAIK this holds for SA as well.

> "love the sinner but hate the sin." The homosexuals still receive a disporpotionate amount of hate relative to "other sins", often by people pretending they are not hating as they parrot this phrase.

  Probably, but correlation isn't causation and no group deserves to be judged by its worst constituents.

    > correlation isn't causation That misleadingly implies the reasonable plausibility of a coincidence, for example that it is random chance that gay marriage is a nation-wide political topic but the legal status of eating shellfish isn't.

      No it doesn't.

        Even if so, if a group shouldn't be judged by its worst constituents, then should it also not be judged by the silent majority who do nothing?
