I would say the majority of the non gay world think that being gay is about as important to them as what level someone sets the toaster on. Now most of the Religious Zealots think that being gay is sinful I'll agree. But again most of the non gay world probably barely think of the word sinful let alone associate Gayness with it. I would bet that most of the world thinks being a religious Zealot is worst than being "the Gay & Beastiality Champion of the world".

I never said that being gay was sinful. Being gay in not sinful, but homosexual acts are. This being a Christian founded nation (fact, just do the research and don't try to argue the point) and that the majority of people in the US consider themselves Christian in some capacity, even though many do not practice their faith, it goes to reason that the majority of people in the US think that the practice of homosexual acts is a sin. It is not so-called "Religous Zealots" who feel this way. It is your mainstream, run-of-the-mill Christian. 87% of the people in the US consider themselves either Jewish or Christian (Catholic or Protestant).
I am not going to apologize for my beliefs, or have you disparage them. There are plenty of other things that God considers sin, and I'm no angel. But I recognize my sinful nature, and repent of it. Believing in God is not being a religous fanatic, sorry but you can't even go there.
You can believe whatever you want, but the Bible, which is the best selling book of all time BTW, of which I believe everything from the Table of Contents to the Maps, says that God
loves the sinner but hates the sin. God loves homosexuals (and all mankind), but He abhorrs homosexuality. It is an abomination unto The Lord, and nothing you can rationalize it away with will change that fact.
Now, don't even come back and say that this nation was founded by "diests" and "agnostics" because that is a lie, and the people who say it know it's a lie. The founding fathers, by and large, were God fearing, Christian men, and put that faith into every single document and law that this great nation was built with. I can produce hundreds of quotations to back this up, so don't even try to refute what I say. Just read The Federalist Papers by John Jay and Thomas Jefferson for starters.
All that being said, I, much like God, love people. Somebody said, "we know that you hate Joe West" to which I answered, if you recall, that I don't "hate" anybody. Sure, there are people I dislike, but all men and women are brothers in my way of thinking, and all deserve the love that God loves us with. Gay, straight, black, white, brown, you name it! They are all God's children.
