Ok, a few thoughts...
God's not a flip-flopper - He just separates the bad from the person. If you have kids - they do bad stuff that anger you all the time. But that doesn't change your love for them. God's relationship with us is much the same.
The Bible says that homosexuality is sin. Does that make the homosexual worse off than a non-homosexual? No! WE ALL SIN - WE ALL ARE SINNERS. We just have different temptations to deal with. All sin is bad - no matter how small we think our 'little' sins are. Think of it this way: if you can't swim, does it matter if you're in 8 feet of water or 80 feet of water? No! You will eventually drown. The same is true with sin: it doesn't matter if it's a little sin or a 'big' sin - it is all the same in God's eyes, and all sin separates us from the love of God.
That said, there are varying degrees of consequences here on earth when it comes to sin. For example: if I speed on the highway, I'll get a ticket and pay a fine. If I kill a man, I'll go to jail and possibly be sentenced to death. BUT IN GOD's eyes: all of this sin is forgiven - the price is paid through Jesus Christ.
What does God think about Christians who hate homosexuals? I am sure He is saddened with his 'children' misinterpret the Bible like that. The Bible says many times to 'love our neighbors,' even to 'love our enemies.' Those "Christians against homosexuals" are not being very loving, IMHO.
These thoughts are just my opinion - these views are NOT necessarily the views of Pelican Parts.
