I'm fairly sure that you took that passage out of context. The Bible commands people to love God and hate sin. As you know, according to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin. You can treat people with respect without being accepting of their practices. It's a "Love the person, hate their actions" type of thing. No one is forcing, or even expecting, someone who is a homosexual to suddenly turn heterosexual. Marriage has always been considered to be strictly between male and female(s) (That's not just by Christian standards) and most people would like to see it remain that way.
Anyway, sorry to get off-topic there. I don't really agree with gay marriages but, then again, I really don't care what two people do in their own privacy. I'm not going to take up arms if gay mariages are ever legalized in the state of Florida. It doesn't affect me in any way, shape or form.
